2) More than "prison" I think "jail" would be more adequate: AFAIK police forces do not "own"
prisons (long term incarceration) but only jails (short term incarceration). It is true that in some countries a dedicated police
force is in charge of prisons operation, but the "ownership" of the prison is usually "the government".
That difference might confuse - that's an American rather than a UK
difference, I think. Where "jail" (or even "gaol") is used in the UK
it's essentially a synonym for prison. Ireland I think has a similar
usage to the UK; not sure about other English-speaking jusidictions
worldwide.
