Holds criminals who have been sentenced to one year or more.

• A. Prison
• B. Information
• C. Incarceration
• D. Jail

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is understanding the difference between jail and prison based on length of confinement and the status of the offender. Prison is the facility that holds individuals who have been convicted and given longer sentences—typically a year or more. Jails handle those awaiting trial or serving shorter sentences (usually under a year). Incarceration is the act or state of confinement itself, not a specific place, so it doesn’t designate where someone is held. Information isn’t related to confinement at all. So the best choice for holding criminals sentenced to one year or more is prison.
