"belong to" and "belong in" - Is there any difference? I think they are slightly different, but not sure how to use each of them. Can you give me some examples?

He belongs to a club, a team, a church, etc. He's such a dangerous driver. He belongs in jail! Belong to = be a member of belong in = should be in
