but most county jails aren't set up for long
term stays.
They are more like a place to hold someone
until they moved to a larger more permanent
place.
Most people in county jails are only held until they have a trial or see a judge. Most only for 2 or 3 days.
If someone has committed a bigger crime, they
go to trial and when its over they go to a
bigger facility set up for long term
incarceration. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
