The Republic Correctional Authority, or RCA, was an organization in the time of the Galactic Republic which tracked down and attempted to rehabilitate dangerous criminals. Based in the Outer Rim, the organization was responsible for putting bounties on several criminals throughout the galaxy, most notably Meeko Ghintee. The organization only posted bounties on criminals who were causing damage to Republic systems. The Republic Correctional Authority was dismantled when the Galactic Empire came into power. Due to stricter laws, enforcement, and punishment, there was little need for the underfunded organization.
