Most Malls do really have jails in them where they are more of a holding cell until the police come.

A security guard in a mall can arrest you and then take you to mall jail which is either a dog cage style place in a back room or it could be a regular jail cell depending on the mall.

The mall does not have a real jail where they keep you for awhile or days but they only hold you in the mall jail for an hour or less or until the police come or they release you to your parents.

I remember being held in a mall jail as a teenager for shoplifting and they held me their until my parents came and got me.

My parents signed a release form and could take me home as it was either I wait for my parents in the mall jail or the police take me to the real jail for Juveniles and I stay a bit longer.

I chose to stay in the mall jail for a few hours until my parents came and got me.

I had to do community service and got a spanking from my dad after I got home.

I never shoplifted again and never will.
