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?

Jail and prison are often used interchangeably as places of confinement. If you want to be specific jail can be used to describe a place for those awaiting trial or held for minor crimes, whereas prison describes a place for convicted criminals of serious crimes.
