Statistically (or should I say "Stir-tistically) the average stay in jail is 30 to 45 days. That doesn't necessarily mean that YOU will stay in jail that length of time, of course.

What is the sentence serving time in Sacramento county jail?

It is more like 50% - my boyfriend's sentence got put down to a misdemeanor - they took off 50%, but nothing has changed.. also expect lots of changing dorms/rooms and accidental misplacement into more of the intense lockdown parts of the jail... be ready for anything and stay humble, that way you will just serve half your sentence, hopefully - hope that helps - the 3-10 day rumor is just that...


Is it true people who are convicted of committing serious crimes go to prison rather than to jail?

The main difference between a jail and a prison is the length of stay. Jail is mostly for inmates that a serving less than one year and prison is for inmates that are sentenced for more than one year. This is not a hard line, but it is a good rule of thumb. Most felonies will get you a sentence that is more than one year and most misdemeanors will get you a sentence that is less than one year.
