Jails are worse. Often you have lots of people in the same jail not broken out by offense as its a holding pen for the locality. Which means you have minor drug offenses in the same facility with armed burglars and rapists. Additionally, a lot of times it makes sense for someone awaiting trial to push the date back as far as possible, in the hopes that witnesses or the prosecution decide not to show at trial or forget the offense. Maybe you can then get off with time served and without a conviction. Which means jails are "how long can you survive in the worst possible place so your life is not ruined more than it already is". Because America is a fucking shitshow and we just don't give two tugs of a dead dogs dick about basic human rights. I really hate this country.
