felony = prison
misdemeanor = county jail.
honestly, 1yr in prison is better than 6months in county jail.
better food, better living conditions, better commissary, "better people". (ppl in county jail know they're gonna get out sooner, so they tend to run their mouths.. ppl in prison know neither of you are going anywhere for a while, and you'll get your hands on them eventually, whether it takes 6 months or 50months)
.. that being said, best try to avoid both felonies and misdemeanors. lol
