'Jail' in the Bible

The officials were angry with Jeremiah and beat him. They put him in jail in the house of Jonathan the scribe because they had made it into a prison.

arrested the apostles, and put them in the city jail.

After giving them a severe beating, they threw them in jail and ordered the jailer to keep them under tight security.

But Paul told the guards, "The magistrates have had us beaten publicly without a trial and have thrown us into jail, even though we are Roman citizens. Now are they going to throw us out secretly? Certainly not! Have them come and escort us out."

Leaving the jail, Paul and Silas went to Lydia's house. They saw the brothers, encouraged them, and then left.
