Major issues facing the United States Correctional System today

Identify some of the major issues facing the United States Correctional System today. You may cover anything we've discussed over the course of the semester that we have defined as a "problem" in our correctional system. Specifically discuss the factors that lead to widespread feelings of frustration and futility with the system, on the part of offenders, correctional employees and administrators, victims, families, or any other "group" whose association or relationship to the correctional system is affected by its present function in this country. Then articulate your vision for "correcting" or reforming some of the problems with the system.
