Define "adult corrections."

The concept of "adult corrections" refers specifically to systems and processes that address the management, punishment, and rehabilitation of individuals who are 18 years and older and have been convicted of crimes. This encompasses a broad range of activities, including incarceration in prisons, parole, probation, and programs aimed at rehabilitating adult offenders. The focus is on both holding them accountable for their actions through punishment and providing avenues for rehabilitation to reduce recidivism and facilitate reintegration into society.

The other options do not accurately reflect the comprehensive nature of adult corrections. For instance, solely addressing juvenile rehabilitation applies specifically to minors and thus does not pertain to adults. Similarly, while handling non-violent offenders and community service participants are parts of the larger criminal justice system, these are not representative of the entire scope of adult corrections, which also involves more serious offenses and encompasses a range of sanctions beyond community service.
