Intro. Core Functions
Modern prison systems generally aim to fulfill four primary goals:
Retribution: Providing a sense of justice or "payback" for the victim and society.
Incapacitation: Removing dangerous individuals from the public to prevent further harm.
Deterrence: Discouraging others from committing similar crimes through the fear of punishment.
Reformation: Rehabilitating offenders so they can eventually reintegrate into society as law-abiding citizens.
Key Differences: Prison vs. Jail
While often used interchangeably, they serve different legal functions:
Jail: Typically operated by local governments (like a county sheriff) for short-term stays, usually under one year. It often houses those awaiting trial or serving sentences for minor offenses (misdemeanors).
Prison: Operated by state or federal governments for long-term confinement, usually for those convicted of more serious crimes (felonies) with sentences exceeding one year.
