Corrections can be broken down into community corrections.
The term "community corrections" refers to both parole, which is a period of conditioned
and regulated release from prison as well probation, which is correctional monitoring carried out
within the community as opposed to a prison (Chin etal., 2012). Community corrections
programs manage criminal offenders in the community rather than in a prison hence lowering the
rate of recidivism.
Community corrections have its roots in the 1700s in England, where judges were given
the authority to grant "judicial reprieve,” which is a mechanism to convict a criminal while still
enabling them to exercise all of their constitutional rights (Wodahl etal., 2009). The idea of
"recognizance," which frees a guilty perpetrator, gained popularity in the United States in the
19th century.
I choose this subject since I was a correctional officer once. During that time, I came to
understand that the majority of offenders struggle with serious social integration challenges as a
result of stigmatization from community (Petersilia, 2011). This had a detrimental effect and as a
result they run the risk of falling victim to a variety of cycles that include failed attempts at social
integration, repeat offenses and repeat convictions. Therefore, my goal has been to lower
recidivism, which is the term for someone relapsing into criminal conduct after being into a
prison.
