By definition, corrections are the variety of programs, services, facilities, and organizations responsible for the management of individuals who have been accused or convicted of criminal offenses (Clear 11). Yet, looking at what prisons are giving inmates today, it seems that this definition is not being upheld. There has been a lack of funding towards new programs that could prevent inmates from returning to prison, and the result is an increase in recidivism in prisons all over the United States

Gross violations have harsher punishments, not excluding forced resignation or dismissal (usually for administrative cases), and court action

Lindbergh case and how the police, courts, and corrections play a role in the case. The police conducted investagations on the case that lead to the arest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann.

Private prisons were constructed as a response to the overcrowding in federal prisons during the 1980s; many people speculate whether or not private prisons are good or bad.

The National Council on Crime and Delinquency estimates that

In February 2010, the department of Rehabilitation and Correction department employed approximately 13,400 personnel as correction officers and parole officers. The total staffing cost for 2010 amount to $936 million, representing 55% of the budget (Trout, 2011). Prison programs can take many forms and these program activities may require inmates
Errors are an inseparable part of language learning. There are various causes for learners in committing errors. Correct feedback techniques adopted can prevent the learners’ error. “Teachers should realize that correction of errors is a very delicate task, and if it is not done in an appropriate way it will do more harm than good as it may cause embarrassment and frustration for the learner”(Hejazi 620). This paper is an attempt to analyze errors and the act of dealing with errors among L2 learners

However, the utilization of the penal harm movement, and the unintended consequences that arose from this movement suggests otherwise. This deliberate measure has deteriorated the main purpose of correctional facilities
interest for the researchers. By applying different econometric techniques, researches proved that in some countries the interdependence between the macro variables and stock market is present indeed. For example, Islam (2003) applied the Error Correction Model to analyze both the short- and the long-run dynamics between Indonesia’s stock market (the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Composite Index) and several key macroeconomic variables, such as the short-term interest rate, inflation, exchange rate
