Complete the Unit 10 Assignment: Correctional System Analysis The U.S. Correctional System can serve two specific functions in relation to sentencing criminal offenders. First, it can serve as a tool for punishing the offender and making the offender pay for his or her crimes. Second, it can serve as a means to rehabilitating the offender and preparing him or her for successful reentry into society. There are five main goals of contemporary sentencing. Each goal represents a quasi-independent sentencing philosophy, as each makes distinctive assumptions about human nature and holds implications for sentencing practice. (Schmalleger, 2024). Table 11-1 shows the five main goals of contemporary sentencing. Write a 700-to-1,050 word essay on the role of the correctional system in sentencing offenders. Also, select a sentencing goal and respond to the items listed below. Provide 4-5 explanatory examples to support your position.  How does the selected sentencing goal punish or rehabilitate the offenders?  How is the selected sentencing goal more effective in reducing crime?  What challenges do women inmates currently face regarding sentencing?  What are some of the concerns in regards to current multicultural and diversity issues in sentencing?  Use the research you compiled and propose a solution or adjustment to the selected sentencing goal. Your paper must follow this format:  Page 1: cover/title page  Pages 2, 3, and 4: body of text  Page 5: reference page (list at least three sources on your reference page. Cite your sources.) List at least three sources on your reference page. Note: This assignment requires research to substantiate your findings. Use at least three references for this paper. You are required to access the Library for at least one of your references. Another reference can be your text from this class, and the third reference can come from an acceptable online academic resource. Discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the resources used.
