Which department in California operates the state's adult prison system?

California Youth Authority
California Board of Prison Terms
California Department of Corrections
California Rehabilitation Services

The correct answer is: California Department of Corrections

The California Department of Corrections is responsible for managing the state's adult prison system. This department oversees the various facilities where adult inmates are incarcerated, ensuring the enforcement of laws and regulations that apply to the correctional system. It is tasked with the rehabilitation of inmates, security within the institutions, and the overall administration of adult corrections in California. In contrast, the California Youth Authority focuses specifically on juvenile offenders, providing rehabilitation and education for minors in the system. The California Board of Prison Terms (now known as the Board of Parole Hearings) deals with parole matters rather than the operation of prisons. Lastly, California Rehabilitation Services is involved in serving individuals with disabilities and is not linked to the prison system.
