prisons and jails 監獄和監獄







Total incarceration in the United States by year





The prison population has quadrupled since 1980,[492] and state and local spending on prisons and jails has grown three times as much as that spent on public education during the same period.

Incarceration of any kind is designed to be an unpleasant experience. But, the policies, rights, and daily life of an inmate can be very different between these two types of institutions. So, what is the difference between jail and prison.




At the most basic level, the fundamental difference between jail and prison is the length of stay for inmates. Think short-term and long-term. Jails are usually run by local law enforcement and/or local government agencies, and are designed to hold inmates awaiting trial or serving a short sentence. Often “short” is designated as a misdemeanor conviction versus a felony, so in some instances where misdemeanor sentences are run consecutively, one may spend more than a year in jail. Jails often operate work release programs and boot camps, and some offer educational, substance abuse, and vocational programs. While many of these programs are designed to help 
the inmates change their lives and improve themselves so they stand a better chance of avoiding a return visit, they also have the added benefit of keeping the inmates occupied and less likely to cause problems for jailers.


Prisons, on the other hand, are typically operated by either a state government or the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). These are designed to hold individuals convicted of more serious crimes, typically any felony. Prisons offer different programs to inmates depending on the inmate's level of custody (i.e., minimum, medium, or maximum security, solitary confinement, etc.). Minimum and medium security programs include halfway houses, work release programs, and community restitution centers. Typically those who are eligible for such programs are nearing the end of their prison terms.

在最基本的層面上,監獄與監獄之間的根本區別在於囚犯的逗留時間。短期和長期考慮。監獄通常由地方執法部門和/或地方政府機構管理,旨在關押等待審判或服刑期較短的囚犯。通常,“輕罪”被定為輕罪定罪而不是重罪,因此在某些情況下,輕罪連續被執行,可能會被判入獄一年以上。監獄經常運營工作發布程序和新兵訓練營,有的還提供教育,濫用藥物和職業計劃。儘管其中許多程序旨在幫助您

囚犯改變了生活並改善了自己,因此他們有更大的機會避免回訪,他們還有其他好處,就是可以使囚犯保持忙碌狀態,並且不會給囚犯帶來麻煩。

另一方面,監獄通常由州政府或聯邦監獄管理局(BOP)運營。這些措施旨在使個人被判犯有更嚴重的罪行,通常是重罪。監獄根據囚犯的監護級別(即最低,中等或最高安全級別,單獨監禁等)向囚犯提供不同的程序。最低和中等安全計劃包括中途宿舍,工作釋放計劃和社區賠償中心。通常,那些有資格參加此類計劃的人將接近其刑期。
