    Hopefully in 6 months enough inmates will be able to show this guy just how unpopular cops and paedos are in prison. Kind of a double whammy. But I’m a Brit so I don’t know if County jail is ‘easy’ jail or ‘oh shit’ jail.

      So in US. jail is where you go pending trial, or if you are sentenced to 365 or less days of incarceration. Prison is 365+1 days or more. Exceptions to this include if you’re awaiting a trial but was sentenced to prison from a previous crime or something to that end. Easy is relative. Many say Prison is better than jail because there’s less of a revolving door and you know where you’ll be for awhile. There’s also systems set up like more classes and opportunities because the captive audience is going to be there longer and can go through more programming in prison v. Jail.

        Thanks, that’s really informative I never knew that. I could get why prison would be better relatively speaking.
