By far the most numerous type of incarceration facility, | By far the most numerous type of incarceration facility, [[countyship]] jails are the first and last stop for the majority of people who enter the Kiravian prison system. They house prisoners held for administrative reasons ({{wp|contempt of court}}, {{wp|pre-trial detention}}) by the countyship court, as well as convicts serving reformative or general detention sentences ranging from days to 30-60 months. There is typically one jail per countyship, but some larger countyships have several such facilities, while in more sparsely-populated areas several countyships may share a joint regional facility for longer-term inmates. Conditions vary, but shorter sentences and greater availability of activities, outdoor time, and visitors keep intra-prison crime toward the lower end of the scale in small and average-sized countyships. Since the end of Kirosocialism, many countyship jails have been keen adopters of rehabilitative justice initiatives and other penal reforms, though this is not uniform across the country. Some countyship jails, most notably those in some affluent micropolitan countyships in [[Vôtaska]] and [[Intravia]], are periodically covered in the news for their dorm-like accommodations and low internal crime rates. However, in many poorer and more remote countyships, living conditions for inmates are quite basic and may be unpleasant even for jail. Jails in large, heavily urbanised countyships face many of the same challenges as provincial prisons. Most countyship jails are centred on a single residential building, with some adjoining buildings for special purposes and some secured outdoor spaces, surrounded by high fencing with barbed wire and/or walls. Larger jails are compounds with multiple residential buildings. countyship jails are broadly medium-security institutions but may have close-security units or outlying minimum-security units. | ||

Provinical (State, Territorial, District, Colonial, etc.) prisons are close-security to high-security facilities holding exclusionary detainees and general detainees serving long sentences. Provincial prisons are tightly enclosed, heavily guarded compounds usually comprising 1-3 large, self-contained residential buildings separated by fenced outdoor {{wp|Yards Brewing Company|yards}}, which are monitored from {{wp|Watchtower|guard towers}}. The architecture, procedures, and régime of provincial prisons is focused on preventing escape and cutting down on violence and disorder by keeping prisoners compartmentalised and minimising contact between inmates. Opportunities for self-improvement, work, and recreation are available, but resources of this kind are more limited in provincial prisons than in correctional settlements and many | Provinical (State, Territorial, District, Colonial, etc.) prisons are close-security to high-security facilities holding exclusionary detainees and general detainees serving long sentences.

Provincial prisons are typically located in remote, underpopulated areas of their province. This is mainly done to provide jobs in underdeveloped areas, but also makes escape more difficult. | Provincial prisons are typically located in remote, underpopulated areas of their province.

The FPA operates two supermax prisons - [[Ion Xëlkka FP]], located on an island off the coast of [[Ilfenóra|Ilfenóra State]], and [[McGill Flats FP]], located in the middle of a barren plain in the Miradèt Desert in [[Amóxav Territory]]. Ion Xëlkka mainly houses extremely violent inmates and serial escapees transferred from other federal prisons, while McGill Flats is used to hold a small but colourful array of dangerous high-profile and politically sensitive convicts, including top organised crime bosses, {{wp|Euskadi Ta Askatasuna|foreign}} and [[Minor Kiravian Political Parties#Prohibition_Party|domestic terrorists]], prolific cybercriminals, traitors, and spies. | The FPA operates two supermax prisons - [[Ion Xëlkka FP]], located on an island off the coast of [[Ilfenóra|Ilfenóra State]], and [[McGill Flats FP]], located in the middle of a barren plain in the Miradèt Desert in [[Amóxav Territory]].

On the whole, prison food in Kiravia is regarded by the scholarly community as "bad" and "not good". It is standard [[Kiravian cuisine]] stripped down to its bare essentials and usually prepared in a [[brùdispan|half-assed way]]. Most facilities serve the standard [[Occidental civilization|Occidental]] three meals a day, though some ''katergon'' account for {{wp|second breakfast}}. Boiled {{wp|potato}}, {{wp|salt beef}} or salt pork, rye bread, cabbage, oatmeal or [[Agriculture_in_Great_Kirav#Cereals|cuckwheat]] porridge, coffee (sometimes real, sometimes [[Agario#Products|acorn-based]]), and processed meats such as {{wp|scrapple}} are the main staples. Lunch consists almost invariably of {{wp|soup}}. In mainstream slang, a soup that is served cool or in which the potato and vegetables have not been thoroughly softened by boiling is known as a ''æskubilôstum'' or “jail soup”. | On the whole, prison food in Kiravia is regarded by the scholarly community as "bad" and "not good".

In mainstream slang, a soup that is served cool or in which the potato and vegetables have not been thoroughly softened by boiling is known as a ''æskubilôstum'' or “jail soup”. countyship jails tend to rely more heavily on processed food that can be served with minimal on-premises preparation. Food quality and quantity are better in correctional settlements - where prisoners are subject to full-time labour and strenuous exercise - than in prisons, where many wardens have adopted the [[Daxian Aspic|Daxian practice]] of keeping inmates lethargic and placid with filling but calorie-poor foods like {{wp|gelatin}}. | ||
Kiravian prisons are notable for serving {{wp|beer}} to inmates. In prisons, beer rations are issued at suppertime in {{wp|Solo Cup Company|plastic cups}}, and in ''katergon'' beer may be doled out during the workday. In the winter, ''katergon'' in cold regions often allow prisoners a shot of whiskey or {{wp|Brandy Burre|brandy}} in the morning or during outdoor labour. Standard prison beer is a crappy mass-produced lager that is around 4% ABV and tastes like {{wp|urine|piss}}. | Kiravian prisons are notable for serving {{wp|beer}} to inmates.
