It's a city's local jail, used for holding people who have been arrested until they are transported to the county jail.

It's a local county or city jail. Municipality is simply another word for either a county or a city.

A municipal jail is a city-owned city-runned jail housing inmates charged with minor offenses (misdemeanors). If someone in that same city commits a serious crime (felony) they will be sent to the county jail which is county-owned and county-ran.

a jail operated by the local municipality -- town or village. People are only held overnight there -- longer than 24 hours they go to (usually) county lock-up. Example -- a drunk tank (like in Mayberry).

It's a jail in the city or county? Usually smaller than bigger cities. But it just means it is paid for by the City and County.

If you get jail time and not prison time more there likely you will spend it there... our local jail will only hold, if you get less then one year. other wise you go to prison for the long haul....And like other have said.. it's run by the city or village, town or Country in your area......
