According to Mays and Winfree Jr., (2009) we have learned from corrections in the past 30 years that is that we cannot tinker with one part of the criminal justice system without affecting the others. Correctional professionals painfully learned during the 1990’s, when prisons become crowded, inmates back up in local jails that are not equipped to deal with long-term populations or with serious offenders. Incarceration rates and policies that affect those rates have an impact on probation,…

If I were to dive into either one of these fields I wouldn’t survive because they do not suit me. When I do something, there should be a passion behind it and I have no desire to peruse a career as a Forensic Serologist or Correction Officer. My goal is to go where I feel I can do the most which will start by being a State Trooper for a few year then later become a Youth Correctional Counselor.

In corrections, there are a wide variety of people, which is one of the budget challenging today. However, the correction system is using programing for specific inmates to try and lower recidivism rates. In corrections, we have three different populations which are: prison, probation, and parole. The major population that exists in corrections that has raised is the probation and parole. From the U.S Department of Justice, we saw a decrease in numbers from 2014 to 2015. “At yearned 2015, an…

Have you been pulled over by police officers? Have you seen the county jail or the prison on televisions where criminals are sent to after being proven guilty in the court? These three components: law enforcement, corrections, and the court are all part of the criminal justice system. They all have their own purposes but at the end are related and reflected back to one mindset.
