Hawaii Correction is the system of correctional services that operates within the State of Hawaii. It includes a network of correctional facilities, services, and programs that are designed to rehabilitate inmates and prepare them for successful reintegration into society. It is administered by the Hawaii Department of Public Safety, which oversees the operations of the state's correctional facilities, programs, and services. Hawaii Correction encompasses four types of correctional services: probation, parole, halfway houses, and correctional facilities. Probation is a period of supervision in which an offender is monitored and assessed by a probation officer. Parole is a conditional release from a correctional facility, with certain restrictions and reporting requirements. Halfway houses are residential programs that provide supportive services to help offenders adjust to life in the community. Correctional facilities are secure facilities that house inmates and provide security, supervision, and rehabilitation services.
