There are many factors involved.

Jail implies that the individual will be kept for less than a year. Prison is used for longer periods of time.

Was there a battery involved, or only an assault? Was there a weapon involved? Were there other crimes occurring at the time such as robbery? Was it a night, was it against the opposite sex, etc.

'Prison' and 'jail' are NOT the same things. It depends on what type of assault and how seriously the victim may have been inujured. Assaults with weapons are usually classified as felonies and you will be sentenced to prison. 'Simple' assault (hands/fists) is usually a misdemeanor treated as a misdemeanor and you can be sentenced to jail.

Several factors. The jurisdiction (state,county,etc). The type of assault,,,minor, with a deadly weapon, with a motor vehicle, etc . Some people convicted of assault have been sentenced to up to 40 years for their crime. It also depends if the assault was intentional or accidental (such as a motor vehicle accident).
