jail is county prison is state. you can be sentenced to county time for one year or under, or be pre trial. sometimes ppl are in jail longer than a year if they are on trial and it takes that long (like RB herself) state prison is where you go whe you plea or are convicted of a felony and are sentenced to longer than a year.
there was an objection to Shapiro asking if she had been in jail OR prison - what's the difference between the 2?
