Prisons are where felony offenders go to serve their sentences consisting of at least one year. Local jails are where misdemeanor offenders are housed. HOWEVER - in some cases - when jails are overcrowded, misdemeanor inmates may be 'farmed out' to prisons who have more room to house the inmates.

My school has been debating on should felons be allowed to vote. We have entered the topic of can felons be a normal citizen when they are released from jail. Apparently the answer to the question is no a convicted felon cannot work as a firefighter in any state after they have been released.
probably not unless released on PAROLE whereby you would have to remain under PAROLE supervision in that state....................
