Unit 9 Final Essay
Our United States Corrections System has two specific ways into having people pay for their crimes. One way is punishment.

If their perceptions are manipulated by a policy, the desired deterrent cannot be achieved correctly. The biggest thing is the offender of their crimes needs to be formed by an overall effectiveness of enforcement apparatus and features
