Définition
- With a few exceptions, jails are operated and financed by local county or city governments. Typically, these institutions house four types of inmates: (1) those waiting for trial, known as pre-trial detainees; (2) those sentenced to jail time who have been convicted of misdemeanors; (3) those awaiting transfer to state or federal institutions who are convicted felons; and (4) those convicted and waiting for sentencing who are also convicted felons.
