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.
