CORR 125 - Correctional Institutions

3 hrs (Sem I)
This is an in-depth inquiry into the function, structure and operations of American adult and juvenile correctional institutions. The correctional institution in the United States will be examined as it exists today in terms of its development, objectives and standards. Attention is focused on the history of imprisonment as social control, retribution versus rehabilitation as a philosophy and modern expectations in a progressive system. The examination of correctional institutions will include but not be limited to jails, detention homes, reformatories, furlough-detention facilities, and open and closed institutions. 3 lecture hours.
