A correctional facility is a euphemism term for a prison. However, many states have what are known as penitentiaries and correctional facilities. Penitentiaries are likely going to house those who are convicted and sentenced to life or are awaiting the death penalty. Correctional facilities, on the other hand, are geared toward preparing the person to be released eventually.
