My friend said there is a clear difference and tried to explain it to me, but I still don’t really get it. Is jail like a holding place until you get to prison?

Jails are run by the county sheriff, while prisons are run by the Department of Corrections. Jails typically house defendants awaiting trial, persons convicted of a misdemeanor, or convicted felons awaiting transfer to a prison. Prisons normally just house felons.
