Prison is certainly after conviction the person is prisoned. In Jail, both under trials and convicts can be detained. Case on it give me . If i am right so there is a lot of difference between Jail & Prison right.

In India Prisons Act defines a Prison. It includes jail also. There is no definition of jail.

Prisons Act is of 1894. Act of 1900 is Prisoners Act and it is local Act of Punjab. So 1894 Act is applicable in Maharashtra
