The U.S. Department of Justice defines arrest as “depriving a person of his or her liberty by legal authority.” The U.S. Department of Justice defines jail time/detention as “the act or fact of holding a person in custody; confinement or compulsory delay.” A criminal trial involves two sides.
All incarcerated individuals, except those serving Life sentences, have a conditional release date equal to either one-third (1/3) off their maximum sentence for indeterminate sentences and one-seventh (1/7) off their maximum sentence for determinate sentences.
House arrest (also called home confinement, or electronic monitoring) is a legal measure where a person is required to remain at their residence under supervision, typically as an alternative to imprisonment. The person is confined by the authorities to their residence.
Unlawful imprisonment, sometimes referred to as false imprisonment, is defined as detaining another person without legal authorization or against that person's will. Unlawful imprisonment typically occurs when one person prevents another person from leaving a vehicle, room, building, or other some other area.
Unsure what there is to not understand. Prison is cells with many guys, guards, a fence ,food fixed by the prison, access to anything controlled by the prison.

In New York criminal cases, the burden of proof requires the prosecutor to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt is the highest standard of proof in the legal system. It means that the jury or judge must have a moral certainty that the defendant committed the crime.
Most states allow prosecutors up to 72 hours after an arrest to file charges, although some states, like California, allow only 48 hours. If the prosecutor fails to bring charges within this time limit, the court has to release you. Failure to do that is a violation of your rights.
Detainment and arrest are connected but are different. A detainment may not result in criminal charges, whereas an arrest will. You may be detained because an officer suspects that you know about a crime or that you were connected to a crime, and their suspicion is reasonable and valid.
