I'm going to go with county jails.

Answer 2

County jails are the place for prisoners convicted of misdemeanors who are serving sentences of a year or less.

Step-by-step explanation:

Over 600,000 people enter prison gates every year. People go to jail 10.6 million times each year. Movement of people in jail is high because most people in jails have not been convicted. Some was just arrested and will make bail within hours or days, while many others have no money to make bail and remains in jail until their trial. Only a small number have been convicted and are generally serving misdemeanors sentences under a year.
