City jails are jails in a larger city where inmates serve time awaiting a court date or for shorter sentences (usually less than a year)
County jails are jails in a smaller town where inmates serve time awaiting a court date or for shorter sentences (usually less than a year)
State prisons are prisons where inmates go after they have been convicted of a crime. Inmates typically spend longer than a year in state prisons.
Federal prisons are operated under the jurisdiction of a federal government as opposed to a state. Federal prisons are used for convicts who have violated federal law.
A private prison, or for-profit prison, is a prison operated by a third party that is contracted by a government agency.
When you are looking at a specific jail or prison, go to the inmate search page on the website and search for the inmate, using their first and last name. You will usually see the inmate’s name, mugshot, birthdate, charges, and other information.
