The United States has extremely high rates of incarceration and this is one of the major issues that the future correctional facilities will have to deal with. Because of extreme incarceration rates, the prisons are overcrowded and this is degrading the quality of the prison systems (Russo, Drake, Shaffer & Jackson, 2017). As the prisons are not efficiently working towards its purpose which is to not only create deterrence but also to help the inmates to go back to their normal lives. Another reason because of which the future prisons might have to suffer is because of human rights issues. These issues will be there as these rights might change with time and the prison system will gradually upgrade itself. Mental health issues are there and can also be in the future.
