Jails operated by county government in Pennsylvania typically hold inmates following an arrest prior to their trial (if not released on bail), convicted inmates prior to sentencing, sentenced inmates awaiting a transfer to another facility, and people sentenced for less-serious crimes of a fairly short duration (typically two years or less).
