The both hold prisoners the obvious similarity would be that of restricted freedom - ie: you are held in a cell. more informative might be the difference - i believe jail imposed immediately after a crime is committed for temporary duration, while prison is sentenced for a definite time period after the alleged transgression has been tried in court.
