is the correctional system in the united states effective? if so, what makes it work? if not, what changes need to be made to enhance its effectiveness?

The correlational system in the United States is done by a number of federal agencies in co-operation with each other and mostly focuses on supervising a felon or an inmate during their stage of parole, probation, rehabilitation, and incarceration. There are various correctional facilities across the US and they also handle offenders, monitor them, offer to counsel for reentry back into the society, and also provide various opportunities to the reformed inmates. The correctional system in the United States is somewhat effective as various data have shown changes in the mindset of the inmates and they are doing a good job by reentering into society.
