Thank you for that last part. As a non US citizen i never knew there even was a difference between jails and prisons. Interesting :)

I should have added that prisons are physically different. Most of the structures recognizable in the OP are prisons, multiple buildings separated by open yards. Jails are more likely to be a single converted building, with the roof open for exercise. They cannot be spotted on google maps.

Take a look at this infamous jail.
