prison和jail的差異
The terms "prison" and "jail" are often used interchangeably-but there are key distinctions.

"Prisons are State or Federal facilities that house people who have been convicted of a criminal or civil offense and sentenced to 1 year or more."被定罪為犯人並且刑期一年以上者進的是prison

"Jails, however, are locally operated facilities whose inmates are typically sentenced for 1 year or less or are awaiting trial or sentencing following trial. The average jail stay is 10 to 20 days, according to the United States Department of Justice."刑期一年以下的囚犯進的是地方監獄(jail),通常待10到20天


"And although jails have average daily populations that are half that of prisons, their populations experience greater turnover. The ratio of jail admissions to prison admissions is more than 16 to 1, and approximately 50 percent of people admitted to jails leave within 48 hours."雖然進jail的人只有進prison的一半,但他們的翻監率很高,進jail的人次和進prison的人次比是16比1,而且jail的犯人有一半以上48小時內就可出獄
