Even I know the difference (from a laywoman's perspective), and I'm bougie as hell. I expect the GC legal eagles to swoop in and correct me if I'm wrong:
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.
