In Cartadania, the administration and governance of prisons follow a distinctive structure. While jails are typically managed at the county level, prisons are exclusively overseen by the federal states and territories, operating under federal law. The objectives of prison confinement in Cartadania are dual-fold: facilitating prisoners' successful reintegration into society while simultaneously safeguarding the public from future criminal acts. Unlike some other nations, Cartadania places significant emphasis on rehabilitation within its prison system, alongside punitive measures. The overarching goal is to enable prisoners to lead lives of social responsibility, free from criminal behavior, upon their release. Cartadania's prisons are designed to create an environment conducive to rehabilitation and reintegration. Many prisons adopt a community-like atmosphere, granting prisoners certain freedoms and responsibilities. Within their cells, prisoners may have access to television, posters, and other personal items, while designated "free time" allows them to move about within specified areas outside their cells.

The head offices responsible for overseeing the state prison services are situated within the respective state departments of justice or departments of corrections. These departments play a crucial role in managing various aspects of the prison system, including organizational structure, personnel matters, training for prison staff, budgeting, construction, participation in prison service legislation, employment of prisoners, and vocational training and education programs. Additionally, they handle petitions and complaints and conduct regular visits and inspections to ensure adherence to standards. Notably, the absence of intermediate authorities between the Department of Justice and the prisons allows for efficient decision-making and closer alignment between the department and the realities of prison life.

In Cartadania, pretrial confinement typically occurs in facilities proximate to the prosecuting public prosecutor's office, often county jails. For individuals with no prior incarceration experience (or those imprisoned for a maximum of three months), prisons for first-time offenders are typically assigned. Recidivists, on the other hand, are placed in regular imprisonment facilities. Those serving lengthy sentences are housed in maximum-security prisons. Special institutions cater to the needs of female and juvenile prisoners, as well as those with specific health or psychiatric requirements. Social-therapeutic prisons include dedicated units for individuals convicted of sexual crimes, wherein small groups of 10 to 15 prisoners reside together. Each group receives support from assigned social workers, correction officers, and psychologists, aiming to address socialization deficits and provide rehabilitation opportunities.

Although the death penalty has been largely abolished, it remains legal in Cartadania for the most severe crimes. Facilities designated for executions are identified by a two-segment alphanumeric identifier. Among them, Institution 9J (Triessa Upstate Corrections Center) is particularly renowned.
