A technical correction, if you please.
Jails (which are operted by counties) are for those sentenced to be incarcerated for a year or less. Those who receive a term of over a year serve their time in prisons (which are operated by states.)
I would be happy to see Nifong wearing an orange jumpsuit in either.
Thanks for the info...I always wondered about the respective purposes of the county and state systems. And, is that a general rule that most states follow??
