DIFFERENT MODELS
OF
CORRECTIONAL
ADMINISTRATION
 Responsibility
Model
Responsibility for assuring
prescribed behavior lies on
the prisoners themselves and
not on the system of
administrative control.
 Custodial
Model
Discipline is strictly applied
and most aspects of behavior
are regulated. Security and
order are maintained through
the subordination of the
prisoners to the authority of
the warden.
 Control Model

Puts emphasis on prisoner

obedience, work, and
education.
 Rehabilitation
Model
Security and housekeeping
activities are viewed as key to
rehabilitation efforts
 Reintegration
Model
This is based on the
assumption that it is
important for the prisoners to
maintain or develop ties with
the free society; thus, the
emphasis is on the
resumption of a normal life.
 Total Institution
Model
Every minute spent inside the
facility must be in accordance
with the rules enforced by the
staff.
 Penitentiary
Model
This applies two systems, namely, the
separate and the congregate. The
separate system uses solitary
confinement and manual labor. The
prisoners are separated from one
another and from the outside world. The
congregate system allows prisoners to
sleep in solitary cells and work together,
but must observe complete silence.
 Progressive
Model
A more humanitarian model
that combines reformatory
and scientific penitentiary as
exemplified by the Elmira
Reformatory in New York..
