yes! well depends on what your are stealing and from who. but you do get arrested at the time of getting caught.

Upon arrest, you are sent to jail for processing. This is often a local affair, and short term. Upon conviction for a crime with a prison sentence, you are sent to prison, which often boasts higher security, bigger populations, and longer amounts of time spent there.
