What type of facility this is

Local jails, county jails and pre-trial detention facilities mainly hold people awaiting trial or serving short sentences, and they usually depend on local or provincial authorities. Because of their function, admissions and releases are more frequent than in a penitentiary and visiting procedures may differ.

In the United States, prisons are run by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (federal prisons), each state's department of corrections, and county sheriffs' offices and local governments (jails).

Knowing the category helps you understand what to expect: the regime, who may visit and the procedures that apply vary depending on the type of facility and the country.
