How are the Jails in your nation?

[Ankuran]

Nonexistent. Rehabilitation centers do more good than prisons.

[Thaideland]

If there's no judiciary, who does the sentencing?

Mob rule?

Well, there's no prisons in Thaideland and no judiciary, but capital punishment is a policy as well. Any sentencing is either all or nothing: death or complete pardon. The death penalty, however, is only ordered once in every 1000 cases because of how lenient laws are.

If there's no judiciary, who does the sentencing?

Devolution: the local authorities choose how to deal with criminal justice and appropriate sentencing.

[Maxemia]

Because Maxemia is completely floating on the water, most prisons are housed on ships that have left service in the navy while maximum security prisons are housed completely underwater with only one passageway serving as the entrance and exit for the entire prison. Because of this, no prisoners under maximum security have ever escaped from prison since the first of these were built in the 1930's.

[Evesader]

We do not have any. A crime occurring in Evesader is impossible, due to our Secret Police....."redirecting" them back on the path to innocence.

[Second Empire of America]

Our jails are not designed for punishment. They're designed for public safety. Criminals are generally treated well within jails, but the guards prevent them from leaving the facility or harming the other prisoners. Cells are basically small apartments that lock from the outside, and prisoners can bring their own personal possessions in with them to jail. Prisoners can also earn a small amount of money from unemployment benefits while within prison, and can use an internet connection when under supervision. Our jails are just like being put under house arrest, just not within your actual house.

All our prisons are pretty decent, even the dreaded Alcatraz, where our worst criminals endure the torment of being served slightly worse food than other prisons, being allowed to read social media but not post anything on it, and saving up their earnings to buy a PlayStation 3 only to be told there is a PlayStation 4 on the market the week after the PS3 arrives.

[Constitutional Technocracy of Minecraft]

Kinda like Norway's

[GemNation]

We have none. Lawbreakers are fed to the lions.

[Sovereign Slavic Republics]

In the USSR, we have a comprehensive system of rehabilitation centres, labour camps, and maximum security prisons.

The rehabilitation centres are for first time minor offenders sentenced to up to 2 years imprisonment. Here the staff attempt to raise the basic educational standard of the inmate where necessary and provide vocational training, and help with finding employment once they finish their sentence.

The labour camps are for second time minor offenders, and those who commit more serious offences which entail incarceration of between 2 to 20 years. Labour is generally performed on farms during planting or harvesting, clearing ditches and other community projects or manual labour in quarries or mines, depending on the seriousness of the offence.

Prisons are maximum security facilities for third time and above offenders, and those convicted of the most serious crimes. Those sentenced to death are detained and executed in these facilities as well. Conditions are spartan, discipline is harsh.

In addition labour camp and prison inmates are not allowed any form of contact, written or verbal, with anyone, including fellow inmates, with the exception of the guards, and only in response to instruction from the guards, for their entire sentence. The general population, including the inmates families are subject to the same restrictions.

[Vigil Imperium]

Jails? Pft.

No one's incarcerated. Just shot.
There's no official judiciary system, as all law is based around military ethics. That means all crime regardless of severity equals punitive duties or firing squad.

[Albania and Macedonia]

We have labor camps with not so good conditions.

[The Xenopolis Confederation]

They're actually pretty hellish. By law, only violent and/or homicidal criminals are sentenced to jail, so the population is quite unpleasant. A very low prison budget means that there are no televisions and very few recreational or non-essential facilities of any kind. Prisons are usually very rundown. For this reason, house arrests are given instead 87% of the time.

[Britamcanzeastralia]

Jail or prison does not exist here in Britamcanzeastralia, we execute criminals.

[Hatterleigh]

Prisons are quite nice in Hatterleigh. Prisons are meant to be a place of self-improvement and rehabilitation, although usually there is a bit of punishment at the beginning in the form of labor, but most of the time in prison is spent rehabilitating prisoners and teaching them things that will prevent them from breaking the law again. Prisoners are taught lots of things that will help them when they leave prison to become readjusted to the world

[Vallermoore]

Unpleasant, but not hellishly so, and very few prison guards are sadists-short term prisoners don't deserve such treatment, whilst those serving long sentences don't have much to lose if they attack a guard apart from a whipping and some solitary time (unless they kill or paralyse a guard that gets them executed by hanging.) If prisoners behave, they are treated well, if they riot or try and escape they get beaten. Death Row is spartan, but prisoners don't serve more then a month there before they are either executed or commuted.

[Avanel]

In Avanel prisions are mostly blocks, surrounded by walls, witch watchtowers on every corner, and entrance. Cells mostly have 2 bunk-beds for 4 inmates, table, seats, electric kettle, radio, cupboard for each inmate. Toilets are always outside of cell, so prisioners have to ring an electric bell next to door, to call guards, that will bring them to toilet. Increased rigor cells have got one bed, chair and desk, and toilet.

[Great Nortend]

Gaols include both police gaols as well as county gaols. Police gaols consist of the cells within a police station or watchhouse where people may be held in custody before being either released, bailed or transferred. Police gaols are often used to contain drunkards for the night to allow them to sober up, as well as to keep suspects for questioning. County gaols are gaols under the auspices of the Sheriff of a county and is where accused people facing court and not bailed are held. Most of the gaol population are felons convicted of crimes too great for a magistrate or petty sessions court, and so must wait for either the Quarter Sessions to sit or for the Assizes to come to the county to be tried.

[Luziyca]

They're like American jails.

[Merther]

Sending people in jail just to keep them behind bars is a waste of resources. Thus the prisoners are working in steelworks factories, making things like bed frames or steel doors.

[Great Thallands]

Prisons in a traditional sense do not exist in the Thallands. Criminals depending on the severity of their crimes go to rehabilitation centers, go into labor camps or in most extreme cases, receive the death penalty.

Before anyone says gulag, labor camps are held to the same standards as any workplace and the workers get paid a fair wage. Usually, labor is used for making roads, steelmaking or other trades.

[Saralonia]

criminals especially the dangerous ones are send to our coliseums in the capital and and mayor cities and in minor crimes they will make community service like collecting trash, help in community shelters and help in restaurants

[Ploaie Negra]

Little time is spent in jails. You see, instead of prison sentences, we give servitude sentences. Criminals are only held in public jails until one of the companies buys their bill of servitude from the government, at which point they are indentured to the company for their sentence. The only caveats are that the labor must be for the production or transport of a tangible resource and the billholder is obligated to provide water and 1600 calories of food per day.

[The Eternal Kawaii]

There are no jails in the Kawaiian "public justice" system, as technically there are no punishments. A Kawaiian accused of a crime must go before an Elder qualified to administer "public justice" and plead his case. If he is found guilty, he is expected to Confess his crime, declare his Repentance, and as a sign of sincerity agree to perform the Penance prescribed by the Elder to expiate his crime. Penance can take many forms, from paying a fine to performing community service, to harsher punishments such as caning. Mortal Penance, the performing of seppuku (ritual suicide) is on the books for the most heinous crimes, but thankfully it hasn't been used in years. Imprisonment is not used as Penance, as it is not seen to have any redemptive value.

It should be pointed out that Penance is a voluntary matter--a convict agrees to perform it of his own free will, thus there is no need to confine him while he carries it out. Should the convict refuse Confession or Repentance, or fail to perform Penance, his case gets turned over to "private justice". In "private justice" the victim's family gets to resolve the matter to their satisfaction, with no questions asked by the authorities. Needless to say, almost no convict chooses that option.

[Walterslandia]

we don't have any. You are either beaten, killed, or sacrificed.

[Berhakonia]

Jail is pretty tame, you receive full psychiatric support to reintegrate you back into society. The cells are Norwegian-like, and the atmosphere is calming and soothing

However, all convicts are required to also do penance at a monastery, under the guidance of a hieromonk or abbot. This is where hard manual labour, community service and physical punishments come into the mix

[Appalachia]

Both provinces and the federal government operate prison systems. Provincial prisons vary in operation. At the federal level, there are minimum, medium, and maximum security prisons, as well as one supermax facility (Wallins Ridge) for the most dangerous criminals as well as death row inmates. All capital offenses are handled via the federal justice system.

All prisons except Wallins Ridge are single-sex, although in some cases a male and female facility are adjacent to each other. At Wallins Ridge the distinction doesn't matter as prisoners do not have any contact with each other whatsoever.

Some of the minimum security prisons are actually state-run prison farms. Additionally, some of the other minimum and medium security facilities allow the inmates to work for pay (albeit a small amount). Working is voluntary - and additionally a privilege that can be revoked for bad behavior, but showing a good work ethic can be a factor in parole hearings. There are also educational resources made available. Maximum security inmates have much less of these privileges. The cramped quarters, low food quality, and limited contact with other prisoners of Appalachia's maximum facilities in particular has been criticized by rights groups, but the government maintains that it is important for prison to be a deterrent.

Appalachia does operate separate institutions for those caught using illegal drugs. They operate more like rehabilitation centers, but attendance at them is mandatory for those convicted and they are officially a part of the penal system - those who are uncooperative or commit any crimes while in the state-run rehab centers will be transferred to prison. There are also separate facilities for juveniles (defined as under 16).
