What evidence is there of a "ballooning" county jail population and subsequent strain on resources? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.230.120.107 ( talk • contribs) 12:14, 17 January 2006.
Obvioulsy the person asking for the review of this article has nothing to do with the profesion of corrections. I can send you so many articles on over crowding in county jail, I couldn't begin to count them. Inmates making weapons out of just about anything___I have seen weapons that could kill made from paper!! Of course the women working in this kind of setting have to be very well educated in thier field and aware of thier surroundings at all times The inmates that are held in county jails are the very same inmates in the state prisons and federal prisons. the days of Otis checking in for the weekend to sober up are gone. the inmates actually become less of a threat once they are placed in the state prison system. This system allows for the administration to put into place goals the inmates must meet in order to further his priviledge level, therefore ( the inmate) not wanting to upset the cart now has rules and regulation he WILL follow in order to get what he wants. Please excuse my spelling.

Seems to me that this really should be folded into prison. Otherwise, we're getting weird stuff like: residents of Marion and surrounding areas gathered at the city jail as jail gets disambiguated. -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 03:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
this page should talk abou tthe funding of jail, money wont grow on trees, so it has to come from somewhere 137.87.66.6 18:14, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
I moved the article Jail (American) to Jail because this usage is not US specific. Please see the history of Jail (American) for previous issues.-- Scheibenzahl 21:11, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
As far as I know, the "one year" rule is not a rule, just the typical length of a sentence. If you look at the prison article it says jails are for offenders "typically" spendiong less than one year. I have two parents who work in a county jail and they both say it's just a very common misconception. 67.81.174.15 ( talk) 22:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
That Australian Government website that claims "Gaol is the Australian spelling" (my emphasis) is very misleading. True, some older establishments are known as "X Gaol", but "prison" or "facility" seem to be the vogue these days. In all other contexts I know of, "jail" is most definitely the Australian way these days. -- JackofOz ( talk) 10:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I agree. Gaol is not the current common spelling. Australia is much like Canada in the respect that we use mostly "British" English spelling, but with modernised words such as Jail (Some Americanisations). A Jail (Gaol) website is not a source, it is used for certain Jails, usually old jails or as said above. Believe me I hate bad grammar and most americanisations, but Jail IS the correct spelling in Australia

That's completely rubbish, in all my education I have NEVER seen teachers or professors ever use jail instead of gaol. Gaol is the correct spelling in Australia, 'Americansations' are to be avoided, which is taught at our most basic level of education. 124.176.182.124 ( talk) 08:49, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
The spelling "gaol" is NEVER used in Canada, except possibly in reference to historic sites Not only that, but the vast majority of Canadians are not even _aware_ that "jail" can be spelled "gaol". Confronted with the spelling "gaol", most Canadians would not even know how to pronounce it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acidtoyman ( talk • contribs) 02:33, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
I don't agree that Gaol is the common spelling. Gaol may still be the OFFICIAL way of spelling it, but I definitely think Jail is the common spelling. I think the current wording (as of 10:16 AEST 30/1/09) is good, and that the citation mark be filled with a source if we can find one :P 124.179.244.120 ( talk) 11:16, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

"Approximately half of the U.S. jail population consists of pretrial detainees who have not been convicted or sentenced" needs a source! 76.168.54.150 ( talk) 06:30, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
i would like to see this contradiction rectified, "gaol[1] (especially in Australia[2] and New Zealand[3])", "Although jail is now more common, gaol is still the favoured spelling in parts of the Commonwealth of Nations, for example in Australia, but no longer used in New Zealand." I didn't make the change myself as i knew it would be reverted. As a New Zealander, i can tell you we were always taught in school to spell it Gaol, and i only finished a few years ago so it cant have changed that much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.172.224.106 ( talk) 15:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
I have separated out Gaol, so there are now three articles:
