Prison vs. Jail - What's the Difference?

Many people confuse state prisons with county jails. Here's the key distinction:

• County Jails hold individuals awaiting trial or serving short sentences (typically under 1 year). Bail is available at county jails.
• State Prisons like Santa Rosa Correctional Institution house inmates who have been convicted and sentenced to longer terms. Bail is NOT available.

If your loved one was recently arrested and is still in county jail, they may be eligible for bail. Start the bail process here or call (941) 477-6888.
