There are at least 7 types of prisons in the United States. These are: jails, federal prisons, state prisons, rehabilitation prisons, minimum security, medium security, and maxium security prisons.

Actually there are four types of prisons in the United States. Military, Juvenile, Political, and Psychiatric. Jails are considered temporary holding facilities for criminals until they can be moved and housed into a prison.
