The Imperial Correction Service functioned as an entity within the Galactic Empire, with the purpose of monitoring and rectifying flaws within specific Imperial territories. Its duties encompassed the administration of all penal institutions and correctional centers spanning the breadth of the galaxy. The Minister of Corrections held the leadership position within this agency. Additionally, the organization included individuals serving as Regional Directors.
During the year 1 BBY, a lethal virus contaminated the Imperial Correction Service prison barge known as the Purge. This occurred while the barge was in transit to the detainment moon called Gradient Seven, resulting in the deaths of nearly the entire complement of crew members and prisoners.
