In the US there are three main types of prisons: federal, state, and local. Federal prisons are run by the Bureau of Prisons and are located across the country. State prisons are run by individual states and are usually smaller than federal prisons. Local prisons are run by counties and cities and tend to be smaller than state prisons. All prisons and jails are designed to hold prisoners until they are released back into society. Prisoners are held in cells called pods. Each pod holds anywhere from 10 to 50 prisoners. Cells are generally small, with an average size of 7 feet by 9 feet. Most cells also contain a toilet, sink, bed, table, and chair. Some cells may even have a window. Prisoners are allowed out of their cells for exercise and recreation. They are also allowed to shower once every two weeks.
