Criminology unit 8 notes latest with summary (100% well enlightened)Overview of punishment & corrections Considerations while sentencing Institutional Corrections ● Someone in a prison facility today will be in one of two types of prisons ● Detention facilities handle individuals who have been arrested & are going through processing or awaiting trial ○ Typically don’t house those who have already been convicted ● Once a person has been convicted, they'll be sent to a correctional facility ● Correctional facilities are the prisons where convicted offenders serve out their sentences ○ Also called county jails or federal prisons ○ County jails tend to hold prisoners convicted of misdemeanors who are serving a year or less ■ There are exceptions, particularly where the county jail also serves as a detention facility & in overcrowding situations because there isn’t enough room for them in a state or federal prison ● Types of correctional facilities: ● Jails are facilities that hold individuals for up to one year & are administered by local officials ○ In the US, there are over 3000 jails of various sizes ○ Some can hold thousands of convicted offenders ■ Like the men’s central jail in LA which can hold over 5000 ○ Others are quite small - only housing a few at any given time ○ Have fewer resources than state & federal prisons ■ Often underfunded & overcrowded ● Prisons are facilities that hold those serving sentences of over one year ○ Usually under state or federal control ○ Since they’re larger & have more inmates - larger budgets ■ Translates to better facilities & more programs such as education & vocational training ○ Categorized based on the level of perceived dangerousness of the inmates ■ Maximum, medium, & minimum ○ Maximum-security prisons hold those who are deemed to be the most dangerous & violent ■ Typically the prisons surrounded w/ high walla & gun towers ○ Medium security prisons are for those who are less dangerous ■ Typically only have fencing around the prison ○ Minimum security prisons house those who w/ lowest risk of violence or escape
