Prison is also used to talk about the system of keeping people in prisons, as well as the building or institution itself. 在英式英語中，這兩個詞差别極小。prison除了表示監獄建築或機構，還表示監獄體系◆the prison service / system監獄部門／體系◆the jail service/system In the US a prison is usually a place where people are sent for a long time after they have been found guilty of a crime. A jail is usually a place where people are locked up for a short time, especially until it can be decided what should be done with them next. 在美國，prison通常指罪犯被定罪之後長期服刑的地方，jail通常指臨時性關押地，尤其是尚未決定接下來如何處置拘留者時◆He was held overnight at the county jail.他被羁押在縣看守所過夜。 Jails are usually smaller than prisons and are usually operated by the local county; prisons are larger and are operated by the state or the US government. However, the terms in prison and in jail are used in exactly the same way. * jail通常比prison規模小，且通常由縣級地方政府管理；prison較大，由州政府或美國政府管理。但是in prison和in jail用法完全相同。 ■ camp [countable] (used in compounds 用於複合詞) a place where people are kept in huts or tents, especially by a government and often for long periods （尤指政府用作長期安置的）營房，營帳◆Nearly a year after the disaster, many people are still living in refugee camps.災難過去近一年了，許多人仍然居住在難民營。◆He spent the rest of the war in a prison camp.他在戰俘營一直待到戰爭結束。◆Concentration camps were first used during the Boer War.集中營是在布爾戰爭期間首次出現的。■ deˈtention centre (BrE) (NAmE deˈtention center) [countable] a prison for young people 少年管教所◆The Juvenile Detention Center is where juveniles are held while awaiting their Juvenile Court hearing.少年管教所是等候少年法庭受理期間少年犯被關押的地方。■ penitentiary ˌpenɪˈtenʃəri [countable] (NAmE) a large prison in the US, especially one for people who have committed serious crimes （美國尤用於關押重犯的大型）監獄◆The execution was carried out at the state penitentiary in Fort Madison.是在麥迪遜堡的州監獄中執行的處決。■ jailhouse ˈdʒeɪlhaʊs [countable] (NAmE) a small local prison, especially in the past （尤指過去的）地方小型監獄◆The jailhouse housed the sheriff and his family as well as the prisoners.這間監獄住着縣治安官、他的家人以及囚犯。ⓘ Jailhouse is sometimes used as a less formal word for prison in compounds, and in journalism. * jailhouse有時可以代替prison構成複合詞，用於不太正式的場合和新聞報道◆He became something of a jailhouse lawyer (= a prisoner who knows a lot about the law).他差不多成了一名獄中律師。◆Two prisoners die in jailhouse fire (= newspaper headline).兩囚犯死於獄中大火。 ■ corˈrectional facility [countable] (especially NAmE, rather formal) a prison or other institution that is intended to improve people's behaviour, usually by punishing them 監獄；勞改所◆The court must decide whether the child should be placed in a correctional facility.法庭必須裁定是否應該把這個孩子關進勞改所。
