Corrections are part of the criminal justice system responsible for juveniles and adults who have been charged with or convicted of a criminal offense. It involves working with the individual at the local, state, or federal level of government. The Corrections professional subscribe to philosophy of protecting society and aiding in the rehabilitation of the offender. The correctional Administration Program is designed to expose the student to different aspects of the correctional system. This pattern of coursework has been endorsed by the Joint Apprenticeship committee of the California department of Corrections, California Youth Authority, and the California Correctional Peace Officers Association as a program, which would be of benefit to apprentices, and correctional peace officers.
