Not here in Virginia.
Over 80 MPH is Reckless Driving with criminal penalties of up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. And that's with a 70 MPH speed limit on most of the interstate. Yeah our law allows a judge to put you in jail for 12 months if you are driving more than 10 MPH over the speed limit on an interstate. Over 90 MPH is jail time (at least a couple days) in just about every jurisdiction. The rule I have heard is 90 MPH is one night in jail and every MPH over that is an additional night.
Edited to add:
Here is a story about a guy that did 3 days in jail for 93 MPH.
