the incarceration of criminals removes them from the general
population and inhabits their ability to perpetrate further crimes.

to be rehabilitated.
▸ The job of corrections officers is to make sure the facilities that
hold offenders are secure and safe. They oversee the day-to-day
custody of inmates.
