Just a pet peeve but I hate the misuse of the word “prison” in this context.

You go to jail for ten days. You go to prison for ten years.

Yep, but in this state every day in jail awaiting trial counts as two days served on any resulting prison sentence because the county jail is considered a far worse place to be than any prison in the state.
