As most have said, jail is for short term housing.  Mostly people who are awaiting trial, or held for short term sentences\n\nPrisons are for long term incarceration.  Long sentences

Here's one you missed - guilt.  How many people have you seen come out of prison spouting jesus?  Look at Gary Busey (not prison, but he WAS a bad boy).\n\nMy friend proposed a theory that many of the most vociferous bible thumpers have the longest rap sheets.\n\nPersonally, I think prison is the NEW house of god.

How to locate an inmate is different in each state. If you go to the appropriate state forum at http://www.prisontalk.com someone there will be able to give you the specifics for your area.\nGood luck

yes, we do. It is pretty sad when someone has been convicted of a crime, goes to prison, has a tv in every cell, can have a friend bring them a vcr, and food, when they visit. I'm sure not all do this, but there are a lot that do. I know, because I have a friend in prison right now. Going to prison is supposed to be a punishment, not a vacation.

They are booked into jail to serve their time, or they are bailed out and given a court date to appear to answer to what they are accused of. If they can't make bail money, then they won't be released and will have to stay in jail until their court date. As to what goes on inside of jail, I can pretty much assure that it is nothing pleasant. Think of being caged up like an animal and having no freedom of your own...not even  what you want to eat.

Lots of people have been to prison.  Why?  Is there something in particular that you would like to know?

You do understand that jails are TEMPORARY holding facilities and PRISONS are for long term holding?\n\nIs this a local jail you are interested in or a State or Federal Prison?\n\nIf you have a name and birthdate (or maybe a social security #) you could look on the State's Department of Corrections website.  You will probably have to call the Department though.  It is usually public record - so they will tell you if he/she is incarcerated.\n\nIf it is a Federal prison that they are in - I know you can do an online search.

Have you tried the old fashioned way and called the jail ??\n\nPublic Information is a wonderful thing.

The answer varies from jail to jail but speaking in very broad terms, jail food is very similar to school cafeteria food in both quality and quantity.\nCounty jail kitchens are monitored more closely than most state or federal prison kitchens since county facilities are subject to inspection by local health departments.

I know a lot of folks who've been in the joint (I live in a poor neighborhood & I used to work in construction). \n\nFrom what I know, prison sucks for both genders - it's boring, there are a lot of a**holes in there, the clothes are ugly, the medical care is inadequate and the guards will kick your ass in a heartbeat.\n\nAnd there are a LOT of fights in jail - and a lot more tension. Male prisoners are CONSTANTLY trying to avoid fighting - since fights = lockdown and on lockdown you're stuck in your cell and that really sucks (no commissary, no phone calls, no lifting weights or playing basketball in the yard ect).\n\nThat's why ex jailbirds tend to be overly polite - in prison, if you even THINK you insulted another prisoner, you say you're sorry immediately - otherwise there WILL be a fight - and I just told you what happens when they fight - it screws it up for everybody\n\nBut, the food is good, and they have really big portions \n\nThis is true for both men and women\n\nFor guys, there is a LOT of the gay stuff- but it's mostly CONSENSUAL \n\nMost guys admit they had sex with men in the joint, but they swear that they were "the man" and the other guy was "the bitch" (of course, at least 50% of them are lying)\n\nOf course, there are jailhouse rapes (and, legally speaking ALL prison sex is rape since prisoners are considered legally dead in terms of civil law when they are inside and therefore they cannot consent to sex) but most jailhouse sex is consensual (men with no other outlet doing what they have to do to fulful their urges)\n\nIn women's jails, their is a LOT of lesbianism (and here, it's almost 100% consensual, it's almost unhead of for a woman to rape another woman in the joint)\n\nAnd there is a lot of sex with the guards - male Corrections Officers give special "favors" to their little prison girlfriends - more food, special items that the commissary doesn't stock, better work assignments ect\n\nlegally, that's all rape (and from time to time DoC cracks down on the guards who have sex with prisoners)\n\nThere's also a lot more fighting in women's prisons.\n\nThe guys tend to avoid fights since the consequences are so serious and they get super polite to make sure that they don't have a fight unless there's no other choice\n\nWomen in prison aren't like that \n\nYou know how women are on the outside ? They love to argue and pick fights, and they won't drop it until they win?\n\nWomen are WORSE in the joint!\n\nArguments will start at the drop of the hat (women prisoners even ARGUE WITH THE CO'S! Since male CO's are less likely to kick a woman prisoner's ass than a male, the girls know they can get away with it)\n\nAnd, since  the DoC isn't as quick to use teargas, mace and nightsticks against fighting women inmates, the women know the consequences aren't as serious as they are in the male institutions\n\nso the girls fight all the time, over dumb stuff (just like women do in the real world)\n\nIn other words, prison sucks for women just as much as it does for men, but in a slightly different way!

The prisons are a business.\nIn fact prison stocks have become as important as those of banks, insurances and real estate... and power corrupts
