Sort of. Jail is where people not privileged enough to afford bail await trial. And sometimes lesser sentences like if they're under a year or in relation to a misdemeanor are served.
so jail is just a temporary imprisonment?
Short-term is probably a better description. Although, sometimes people get forgotten in jail and spend years waiting for trial
"Forgotten"
For misdemeanor sentences (under a year) you might do that in jail.
