Difference between Jail and Prison

in new •  7 years ago  (edited)

OK! Here is my first steemit post!
Wondering if there is any difference? Just a minute of your time would give you the answer. Far back to 2016,I have always thought it's the same meaning. However, these words are different from each other.

Jail is a protected facility built to detent inmates who are awaiting their trial or serving a very short term. Jails are predominantly run by local law enforcement.

Prison on the other hand is also a protected facility (bigger) built to detent inmates who are serving long term sentence. Prison serves has a place for rehabilitation, skill acquisition and Recreation.

My pen is down already, I hope you now understand the differences between these terms!

Thank you!
Look forward to my next post!

Jail rape is easier than prison rape. Let's just leave it at that.

Confused
Can you explain further?

Prision is simply an identity of jail.

Really! I always use the two words interchangeably. Thank for this. Looking forward to learn more from you.

In your opinion you are very correct

That's great piece....

It is difficult to fathom

Always believed that these were two different words that are often used interchangeably but I never really cared to look them up.
Thanks for this and welcome to Steemit.
