CHAPTER 
1 
THE 
CORRECTIONAL 
SYSTEM 
FIGURE 
1.4 
Criminal 
Justice 
Funnel
In 
actual 
practice, 
many 
suspects 
are 
released 
before 
trial 
because 
of 
a 
proce-
dural 
error, 
evidence 
problems, 
or 
other 
reasons 
that 
result 
in 
case 
dismissal 
by 
the 
prosecutor 
(
nolle 
prosequi
). 
Though 
most 
cases 
that 
go 
to 
trial 
wind 
up 
in 
a 
convic-
tion, 
others 
may 
be 
dismissed 
by 
the 
presiding 
judge 
because 
of 
a 
witness 
or 
a 
com-
plainant’s 
failure 
to 
appear 
or 
procedural 
irregularities. 
So 
the 
justice 
process 
can 
be 
viewed 
as 
a 
funnel 
that 
holds 
many 
cases 
at 
its 
mouth 
and 
relatively 
few 
at 
its 
end. 
Figure 
1.5 
shows 
the 
interrelationship 
of 
the 
component 
agencies 
of 
the 
criminal 
jus-
tice 
system 
and 
the 
criminal 
justice 
process.
Corrections 
in 
the 
Criminal 
Justice 
System
Although 
corrections 
is 
an 
element 
within 
a 
complex 
set 
of 
criminal 
justice 
organi-
zations 
and 
processes, 
it 
is 
functionally 
independent 
from 
the 
other 
agencies, 
with 
a 
nolle 
prosequi 
A 
formal 
entry 
in 
the 
record 
of 
the 
court 
indicating 
that 
the 
prosecutor 
does 
not 
intend 
to 
proceed 
any 
further 
in 
this 
case.
