The incarceration system's main responsibilities are to ensure the completion of criminal penalties by convicted persons. The management and administration of prisons and adjacent correctional institutions are operated by the Department of Incarceration, which also ensures the protection of the prisoners’ physical well-being and rights under the Caphirian government. The incarceration system is intended to resocialize, reform, and rehabilitate offenders.

There are three types of "incarceration institutions" operated by the Department of Incarceration: open prisons, prisons, and provincial prisons. Two additional incarceration institutions exist but are not operated by the Department of Incarceration: private prisons and special prisons.
 
The Department of Incarceration maintains a local head office in each province. There, a prison service department controls the organization of the prison service, personnel matters, basic and advanced training for prison staff, budgets, construction, cooperation in prison service legislation, the employment of prisoners, and vocational training and education for prisoners. It also reviews petitions and complaints and its representatives visit and inspect the prisons regularly.
 
On confinement, prisoners are first classified according to gender, nationality, type of penalty, length of sentence, degree of criminality, and state of physical and mental health. They are then placed in special programs designed to treat their individual needs.
