Corrections
A corrections system or correctional system refers to a network of governmental agencies that administer a jurisdiction's prisons and parole system.[page needed] The components of the criminal justice system that serve to punish criminal offenders involve the deprivation of life, liberty or property after due process of law (see Fourteenth Amendment). Sentences imposed upon offenders range from probation to serving time in prison, with intermediate sanctions, including sentences to a halfway house or community corrections program, home confinement, and electronic monitoring. Financial penalties may include fines, forfeiture, and restitution.
In some countries, including Western countries in the past, this has also included judicially-ordered corporal punishment.
