Correctional facility embarrassed and distressed kin (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
red ink
'correctional facility' is the definition.
(facility or tool for writing corrections)
'embarrassed and distressed kin' is the wordplay.
'embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'distressed' is an anagram indicator.
'kin' anagrammed gives 'ink'.
'red'+'ink'='RED-INK'
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
