Answer: Prison

Step-by-step explanation:

A Prison houses people convicted of a felony and whose sentences are long. For misdemeanors or suspects awaiting trial, a jail serves the same purpose. Although both words are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. To be remanded in prison, a person must have been convicted of a serious crime. Also, prisons are built with a focus on sustaining long term incarceration.
