Robert · Accepted Answer

Correctional programs should target at improving lives of the convicts in the future. 
There are predominantly two objectives of correctional programs, one is about reforming and the 
other is about retribution. The latter is a harsher objective to be fulfilled by the correctional 
programs. Vengeance, in my view, should not be the ultimate objective of any correctional 
program and I do think that the effectiveness of any correctional program or its effectiveness 
should not be measured by how many numbers of prisoners/convicts are given death sentence or 
how many of them are serving life without parole.
