Answer:

The correct answer is C: jails

Explanation:

A jail is a temporary holding facility, run by local government, which serves to detain recently arrested people who committed some minor crimes. It also holds persons who are awaiting trials for an extended period of time (less than a year).

On the other hand, to be put in prison, a person has to be convicted of breaking a state law or a federal law.
