Nice try.

You should read what you link to (emphasis mine).
You said:
You can be convicted and in jail, which makes perfect sense in Monopoly, since it's generally for a shorter period of time. They are both synonymous for the purpose of imprisoning somebody but different on how drastic the crimes you are behind bar for. In my opinion you should be in jail for minor crimes and not put in prison and it's perfect for Monopoly.
You should take your own advise.
Yep. That's the right definition. Not what you said. You said jail is for innocent people. You also said the definition doesn't differ no matter where you are and the link clearly defined the US can have a different interpretation (see interchangeable use).
So in other words you have reading problems and don’t understand basic English and grammar.
Now I just feel bad for you.
I don't have to distract with cheap ad-hominem attacks when I can quote your words right back to you:
Read it one more time. Notice the word COULD.
I never said jails are for innocent people. I said it’s a holding cell for people who have yet to be tried. Which means they COULD be innocent.
Never heard of innocent before proven guilty?
Are you really this dense?
Reading problems.
Stop deflecting and stop trying to gaslight me. If prisons are the same as jails in this regard then why dispute? Why even bring it up? You're retroactively trying to save face.
I am fully aware how prisons and jails are similar and how they are different. You're the one who was trying to correct somebody and then got downvoted to oblivion.
Oh, but now you were just randomly bringing an unrelated technical point about how jails can hold innocent people now that you've been confronted with the facts. /s
Says the one trying to twist my words to win some moronic argument you already lost. You have a disease. Get help.
That's three ad-hominem attacks. But sure, those are your "arguments". Well argued. /s
But of course, when you have nothing meaningful to say, you just attack people. I guess that's to be expected. Just blame the person when you get called out. You could have taken this as a lesson and admitted you were wrong, and learned, but you decided to double down and insult people instead. Well argued.
