Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'correctional' (relating to the treatment or correction of offenders) with 'facility' (a building for a specific use). The phrase literally denotes a building used for correction/rehabilitation (i.e., a prison or similar institution), a compositional and cross-linguistically common pattern that a B1 learner who knows the constituents would understand.
Etymology
Correctional facility: The term correctional facility comes from the idea of a place to 'correct' people: correctional means trying to fix bad behavior and facility means a building or place. So, it now means a building where people are kept as punishment and helped to change their behavior.
