While municipal and county jails tend to serve similar functions, regardless of the states where they are located, state jail facilities may serve very different purposes depending on their location. In some states, state jail facilities hold pre-trial detainees, especially if the county where the defendant was arrested lacks the space or appropriate facility to hold the defendant. In other states, designated state jail facilities only hold post-conviction inmates who have been sentenced to serve their time in the state jail facility. In fact, some states, like Texas, have designated some crimes specifically as state jail felonies. These offenses, which are generally non-violent property offenses or drug offenses, result in sentences ranging from six months to two years with confinement specified to the state jail facility.
