Pretty close. Misdemeanors carry sentences of less than 1 year. There's also a
limit on the fine that can be levied, but I'm sure it's gone up since the last
time I knew any details (used to be $1,000 back around 1970). Sentences of less
than 1 year are typically served in the county jail. Felony convictions are
served in State penitentiaries.
