To me, they are same thing! If you go to jail or prison whatever you wish to call, they would say Department of corrections instead! See what I mean?

For me, they are not same, sorry.

If you think it is same - it is confusing or ignorant.
 
Watch George Carlin's take on capital punishment, he had it right.
 
Did they rip that off an Al-Qaeda torture guide? By all means, I'm for any deterrence that would force a potential criminal to think twice.
 
Jail and prison are different. Main difference is the crime committed and lenght of "stay". DNA does not close a case, nor mean a person committed the crime. I will agree that more than likely the person convicted with DNA did the crime but not with a strong enough conviction to flip the switch.

Not entirely. For IL, there is one corrections department, the IDOC, but if you land in Cook County Jail, you become a CCDOC inmate, but if you land at the MCC downtown, you enter the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and these systems are nowhere near the same.
 
You see, term corrections were used rather than Jail or prison. There is no J or P in their abbreviation, don't you notice that?

In your case, yes. Also, for the record, the Chicago Tribune also refers prisons to jail quite a bit. Seen it a lot.
 
It is like Pop, Soda, softdrink, are all these three terms different? Not really to anyone right? Same concept.

I agree...show this to all the middle school kids and scare the potential future rapists or murderers from committing any future crimes!

For ASL - jail and prison are same - 4 + 5

For English, both of them are different definition, depending about what I put like saying conviction of felony crime will result in state prison or if you get arrest for DUI so you go to jail.
