California State Prison VS County Jail
While prison and jail are used to hold people who have broken the law, there are major differences. One is that prisons are usually larger than jails. This is because California prisoners are designed to house inmates found guilty of serious crimes. San Diego jails are used primarily to hold people accused of offenses or serving time for minor crimes.
The county generally runs the jail, while the state and feds will run prisons. Some consider prisons more dangerous than jail because it houses the most violent criminals in the country. Prisons are, therefore, more tightly guarded than jails.
