Jail removes all of a member’s roles and confines them to a dedicated jail channel. Their roles are saved and restored when they’re unjailed. Optionally set a duration for automatic release.
Setup
Run ,jail setup to create the jail system. This creates:
- A Jailed role
- A #jail text channel (only visible to jailed members)
- Locks the Jailed role out of all other channels
To remove the jail system entirely, run ,jail reset. Active jails will be converted to Discord timeouts with their remaining duration.
Commands
| Command | Usage | Permission | Description |

,jaillist | | Manage Roles | View all currently jailed members |

Duration
You can set a duration for automatic unjailing. Format: <number><unit>
| Unit | Example |

s | 30s — 30 seconds |

h | 2h — 2 hours |
d | 7d — 7 days |

Behavior
- Jailed members are DM’d with the reason and duration
- All removable roles are stripped and saved — they’re restored on unjail
- If a jailed member leaves and rejoins, the jail role is automatically reapplied
- If someone manually removes the jail role, the bot cleans up the jail record
- Expired jails are automatically processed every 30 seconds
- You cannot jail the server owner or the bot itself
