What's the difference between jail and prison in Germany?
Short-term and long-term?
I know that in the USA jails are usually run by sheriffs/local governments and are designed to hold individuals awaiting trial or a serving short sentences. Prisons are normally operated by state governments and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and are designed to hold individuals convicted of crimes.
So, jails are locally-operated, short term facilities that hold inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both, and inmates sentenced to a term of less than 1 year, typically misdemeanants. Prisons are long term facilities run by the state or the federal government and typically hold felons and inmates with sentences of more than 1 year. Definitions may vary by state.
Anyway, very good to know that there is someone who did some time in a lockup facility. I thought I was the only one here.
