To most people’s surprise, jail and prison are not exact synonyms for each other because they refer to two separate institutions that house different groups of criminals and are run by different levels of government.
JAIL
- Operated by local governments
- Holds individuals awaiting trial or serving short term (usually up to 1 year) sentences
- Offers programs such as work-release and boot camp to address various needs – educational, vocational, substance abuse, etc.
PRISON
- Operated by state or federal governments
- Holds individuals serving long-term sentences
- Offers halfway houses, work-release centers, and community restitution centers for inmates nearing the end of their sentences. These centers are designed to help transition inmates back to society
