Fostering Innovation in Community and Institutional Corrections: Identifying High-Priority Technology and Other Needs for the U.S. Corrections Sector.

摘要

The agencies of the U.S. corrections enterprise manage offenders confined in prisons and jails (commonly referred to as institutional corrections) and those who have been released into the community on probation and parole (commonly referred to as community corrections). The enterprise is one of the three central pillars of the criminal justice system, along with police and the courts. The system is intended to protect the public by separating violent offenders from the community, deterring others from offending, and rehabilitating offenders for reintegration into the community upon release.
