A jail or a prison is a place specially designed, built and staffed with guards to imprison people.
Imprisonment is the act of putting someone in some sort of confinement like jail, but people can also be sentenced to do there prison term at home. In this case they wear an ankle monitor that warns the police if they leave the property. So think of imprisonment as ANY way to confine someone.
One famous quote is, “Four Walls and a Bars does not a prison make.” It refers the fact that circumstances, and situations can imprison people. A person locked in an unwinnable situation, like a job where they can't get promoted or a loveless marriage can feel confined. If they can't leave that job or that marriage for some strong reason then that is a form of imprisonment.

Jail is usually less that 1 year of time, and prison is usually greater than 1 year.

Do you mean jail versus prison? Jail is typically where people are held incident to arrest and have yet to be sentenced/convicted. Usually, people sentenced for a year or less complete their sentence in a jail versus those who are sentenced to more than a year get transferred to a prison.

They are used interchangeably.
For example "He was sentenced to 5 years in prison" could also be "5 years in jail" or "5 years of imprisonment".

Basically, everyone who gets arrested goes to jail and if their crimes are severe enough, they eventually make it prison.
Jail is where someone's who's arrested is taken to be booked and processed and then they're held until their arraignment or trial if they can't make their bail.
If they're punishment is made up of fines, probation, community service, or a short sentence, they don't go to prison.
If they're convicted of severe crimes or their sentence is over a year, they go to prison.
For example, if you're walking beligerent and drunk in public, you're going to jail, if you walk beligerent and drunk to your car, drive, and kill someone, you're goin to jail then prison.

Usually time is the difference and in some instances the manner in which you are treated. It really depends upon the state and the crime you are incarcerated for.
