Some people say "jail" when referring to prison, or "prison" when referring to jail. If you have ever been locked up in either one or both,

do you have an opinion about people who have never been locked up and refer to them incorrectly?

    I have no opinion. 

    Prison is like Jail on steroids.   Everything about jail is worse, louder, bigger, scarier and longer in prison.

    I think.

    I don't KNOW first-hand, thank GOD.
