jail is where they'd put you to dry out, sober up, hopefully behave yourself. lots of old movies make jail seem comically quaint. I myself have been released from the lockup "on my own recognizance" or some such, basically means they didn't want the expense of keeping me there, plus I agreed in writing to show up for the court date.
prison doesn't have to mean federal time, could be a big scary state prison, but you get there from doing felonies. and the felony could be just weed, like you had a garbage bag full of it and shared it with friends.
I have been incarcerated in jail several times, and once I went to a maximum security prison to do some work. Jail was by far scarier, and not because I was locked up necessarily. Just the people there. A lot of them were fucking unhinged. Hanging off railings screaming like howler monkeys. Everyone in prison was very polite, they were making a community soup, just hanging out, visiting each other's cells.
