The term 'minimal security' is primarily used in the American criminal justice system to classify correctional facilities and inmate custody levels. In Brazil, the equivalent concept exists within the penal system (sistema penitenciário), though the classification system may differ. The term gained broader public recognition through media coverage of correctional facilities and criminal justice reform discussions in both countries.
