Go back and read the article. He's in jail (not prison) for 30 days pending further investigation.

From the initial version of the investigation, the driver faced charges under Part 1 of Article 121 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional grievous bodily harm), but by court decision he was not taken into custody under this article. Soon after, he was detained in Bila Tserkva and another suspicion was announced – leaving a person in danger (Part 3 of Article 135 of the Criminal Code), which carries a penalty of up to eight years in prison.

Ah, so the title of this post is completely wrong, since he has not been sentenced yet.

English is not my native tongue and TIL that jail and prison mean two different things

You really never stop learning!

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago

Please don't learn from this. Jail and prison are synonymous in most of the English speaking world. The article also doesn't use the word jail and the English wikipedia article on Prison in Ukraine uses "jail" as a synonym for "prison". As far as I know "jail" as specifically pre-trial remand is a strictly American thing, and this didn't happen in America.
