Within our society today there are among many criminals, however, we don't have the capacity to lock up all criminal offenders nor do we have the money to do so. Therefore, we have organized programs that allow criminal offenders to be released back into society under certain conditions. An example of this type of program are community corrections, which are a sentencing style that depends less on traditional confinement options and centers its sentencing more on corrections resources to the community.

Prisons an institution designed to securely house people who have been convicted of crimes. These people are known as prisoners or inmates and are kept in an ongoing custody for a certain amount of time. The type of crime decides the length of the sentence. For some such crimes (i.e. murder) individuals may be sentenced to a lifetime imprisonment. In order for an individual to be incarcerated, they have to be accused of violating criminal law and then tried and found convicted in a jury of their peers.
