Prison. Not jail.
Jails are temporary holding areas until you get to see a judge. Which means you could still be innocent at that point.
Prisons are for folks that have been prosecuted. They belong in prison.

Jail is the best place to be lategame. Don’t have to pay someone rent if you can’t move. And no risk of picking up a tax card.
It’s not a punishment to sit in jail, it’s a privilege, if I could. I’d spend the entire game in jail. It’s the only place you’re safe.

Get the fuck out. In monopoly it’s called Jail. And Monopoly is the topic being discussed.
So no one cares about if it’s called Prison or Jail in the real world. We’re not talking about the real world. We’re talking about Monopoly.

Tell that to Hasbro then and not the random internet person talking about the game mechanic which the game calls Jail.

Jail and prison are synonymous. Your distinction in terminology is localised.

Nope. They aren’t. They have different meanings no matter where you are. You just hear a lot of people misusing the word due to a lack of education.

What are monopoly players prosecuted for?

I thought you can’t collect rent while in jail?
