    "「監獄」英文有幾個叫法：prison、jail、penitentiary。Prison是最通用的字，可以指任何監獄，一般和jail同義。不過，在美國，jail專指等候判決者或罪行輕微者的監獄，由市政府(city government)或郡政府(county government)管理；penitentiary則監禁罪行嚴 重者，由州政府(state government)或聯邦政府(federal government)管轄，
    例如：(1) The judge sent him to jail for fifty days（法官判處他入獄五十天）。(2) The hardened criminal was sent to the penitentiary for thirty years（那個慣犯被判處入獄三十年）。

    Penitentiary、prison、jail三字還有其他值得談談之處。第一，penitent是「懺悔」的意思，例如：The penitent criminal surrendered himself to the police（那罪犯懺悔，向警方自首）。Penitentiary自然是「悔罪之所」。
    第二，prisoner是「囚犯」或「犯人」，jailer卻不是囚犯，而是獄卒。Jail裡的犯人，也叫prisoner，例如：The prisoner will be released from jail soon（那囚犯不久就會獲釋出獄）。

    Lots of employers are loth to employ people with tattoos. New research suggests that tattooed ex-cons, shunned by the legal labour market, slip back into criminality as a means to earn a crust: hence higher recidivism. The results are striking. On average, someone lasts 5,000 days (about 14 years) before finding themselves back in the cooler. A tattooed ex-con lasts half that http://econ.st/1qCpRLt
