A. The Suffolk County Jail houses pretrial male detainees. Males are housed there before their trials. The House of Correction (HOC) confines both pretrial and sentenced females and males who have been found guilty of a crime. Inmates at the HOC are serving sentences of less than two and a half years. The average sentence is 14 months.
