People who are accused and convicted of crimes are usually punished by fines and/or imprisonment, depending on the nature and severity of the crime. Criminal penalties serve several functions. They provide punishment so that a criminal pays for an offense against a victim or society. They help protect society by keeping dangerous criminals confined in prison. In this way, lawbreakers cannot continue to commit crimes and harm others. Criminal penalties can also keep other people from committing the same crimes by serving as warnings or examples to deter others. Finally, criminal penalties are intended to help prepare lawbreakers for reentering society after their prison terms have ended. Through counseling, education, and vocational training, some prisons help inmates learn skills that will help them lead productive lives after prison.
