Jail is like, oh hai I got arrested for a minor offense, and this is where they're keeping me. If I'm not mistaken, Rikers Island is a "jail" in that it's only a short-term holding facility--people with less than a year go to Rikers, as well as people who can't make bail and who haven't been convicted.

Prison is where you're actually convicted, sentenced, and that's where you go.

Thank you...either way it's not where I want to be.

I had to lol at the use of this word.

And your defintion of jail vs. prison is correct (as far as I know- my stepdad works in corrections administration).

Though Clem is obeying all of the traffic laws and being otherwise reasonably prudent, he still runs the person over and they die. Result? Probably no crime.

2) Clem, again, is driving. He's merging into traffic on the interstate. He fails to obey a yield sign. By doing so, he causes a wreck which results in the death of another person. Result? Negligent homicide -- because failure to obey the yield sign amounts to negligence.

I'll probably see my friend this week. I'll show her this post because this sounds more realistic. I'm all for this, but to place an innocent man or woman behind bars for hitting and killing someone is stupid. She told me it doesn't matter.

and just because you say you're not an idiot doesn't mean your peers agree with you. and it doesn't mean your lawyer can prove you're not one.

Far better than asking for medical advice.

"Hey all, I ran someone down in my car and killed them dead!! Will I have to go to anal rape prison or booty feeling jail?"

WWGCD

and just an FYI here folks, let's be really careful of the legal advice we give here 'cuz I think this may be admissible in court....heh!
