Whats the difference between jail and prison?

You cant stay for (like) two years in jail, but you can in prison oh and do you have to pay to be in prison like you do in jail and why do you have to pay anyways?? Thanks ...show more
Answer:

Most jails are attached to the sheriff's departments and run solely by them. Sheriff's departments are responsible for holding short term inmates (12 months or less), misdemeanor crimes. Prisons are run by state corrections and hold long term prisoners (1 year or more), felony crimes.

Yes you can stay more than 2 years in Jail. I was in jail in Ashland, KY which is Boyd County Jail in Cattletsburg, KY and the max they keep anyone in that jail is 5 years. I don't pay them a damn thing. They expect me too but I don't. They pay you when you are in prison. Your family brings commissary when you are in Jail.
