| - In Barrayaran criminal justice, the correctional system includes a variety of functions typically carried out by government agencies, and involving the punishment, treatment, and supervision of persons who have been convicted of offences or crimes. The most typical correctional institution is a prison. The Barrayaran correctional system refers to the network of agencies that administer the Empire jurisdictions' prisons and community-based programs; this system is part of the larger criminal justice system, which additionally includes law enforcement, prosecution and courts. Sentences imposed upon offenders vary from serving time in prison to the death penality. Under certain circumstances, corporal punishment is also added. The Barrayaran correctional network is composed of four semi-autonomous subnetworks: each jurisdiction (Imperial, Komarran, Barrayaran, Northern Districts and Sergyaran systems) has its own correctional structure, each responsible for providing the prison service to people convicted for its own offences and crimes, differently from the law enforcement systems, which cover both local and Imperial offences. People which are convicted by more than a system at the same time, usually serve their sentences in the jurisdiction where the harshest sentence is issued. The overall governance is carried out by the Department of Prison Administration, of the Ministry of Justice. The legal systems of the Empire have standardized measures, which can be issued according the provisions included in each individual jurisdiction: these measures can be both preventive (remand in custody and house arrest) and punitive (arrest, detention, imprisonment, life imprisonment and death penality).
