Difference between Jail and Prison
The most distinguished dissimilarity is that prison inmates have been tried and convicted of crimes while those in jail may be awaiting trial. A prison is below the authority of either federal or state, while the jail holds people accused under federal state county and or city laws. A jail holds inmates from two days up to one year.
