I was reading your comment, trying to decide if you're a liar or just that bougie. Then second paragraph. Most of my friends have been arrested at least once. I've been four times.

It is important here to note that in the US, prison is for sentences over one year and jail is under one year. That is not strictly 100% true but it's good enough to sort out the jail/prison terms problem. I've only been to prison to do some work. It was maximum security for what it's worth, and it was much nicer than any jail I've been too. People acted normally instead of totally fucking unhinged.

I'd rather do a year in prison than six months in jail.

Never been to jail or prison, don't know anyone who has. Then again, I don't hang out with criminals.
