The penal system of Velikoslavia is part of the Criminal justice system of Velikoslavia. The system is intended to resocialize, reform, rehabilitate and punish offenders. All prisons are overseen by branch of the Ministry of Justice, the Office of Correctional Affairs. There are three levels of imprisonment in Velikoslavia; low level sentencing which is typically served in a local jail, sentencing to a medium security facility, or sentencing to one of the high security facilities in eastern Velikoslavia. For particularly dangerous criminals or those deemed unable to be rehabilitated, two supermaximum facilities exist, one of which contains facilities to carry out capital punishment, though this is used less frequently in modern times.

Of this population, 50,320 are for violent crimes, 14,402 are for drug offenses, and 10,936 are for property offenses. Since 2004, incareration rates have declined slightly as more initiatives have been introduced to rehabilitate certain offenders without being incarcerated, with practices such as probation being utilized in a greater way.
