LESSON 6 ASSIGNMENT 2 Lesson 6 Assignment 1. Describe the differences between juvenile community corrections and institutional corrections. Institutional corrections refer to the facilities that rehabilitate offenders termed as guilty by state or federal laws to serve specified prison or jail sentences. These offenders are both juvenile and adult ones that have gone against the law by committing crimes (Taylor & Fritsch, 2020).

Education initiatives also serve as an integral in these programs (Taylor & Fritsch, 2020). These initiatives help in imparting necessary knowledge for the offenders to transform and become better citizens.
