Jail usually refers to going to county or the city lock up for a short time or being arrested and held for a few days then released. Normally for misdemeanors or small felonies. Also jail usually implies that you were there less than a year, usually 6 months or less.

Prison is for extended periods of time for more serious felonies. If you get sentenced to more than 6 months you are usually going to prison. Also I believe prisons are state funded, not local or county funded like most jails. I have been told if you are going to do time for more than a few months prison is actually preferred because the amenities and freedoms are better than what you would get in jail.

When you hear someone say they have done "hard time" it means they have been to prison.

And there are different levels of prisons depending on how severe your crime was. From minimum security for non violent crimes to maximum security for repeat violent offenders that have been deemed a threat to society and will be there the rest of their lives.

I think someone that often goes overlooked is burniegoeasily. The man kills good deer almost every year!

But the one poster that has always stuck out in my mind over all these years in Arthur P, with Rob being a close second.
