Abstract

Generally speaking, there are four levels of penal institutions. These are: ( I ) city, (2) county, (3) state, and (4) federal prisons. All of these correctional institutions are administered by individuals who are guided by different laws depending, of course, upon their particular level of institutional operation. Furthermore, there are separate philosophies, practices, and violations which concern these institutions. Also, penal institutions may range from minimum to maximum security. There is one major phenomenon which correctional institutions share in common. They are the recipients of groups of individuals who have, because of diverse considerations, come into conflict with the law and thus have been duly arrested and sentenced.
