'Jail' in the Bible

Asa was so angry at the prophet, he put him in jail. Asa also oppressed some of the people at that time.

So they seized them and put them in jail until the next day (for it was already evening).

They laid hands on the apostles and put them in a public jail.

When they heard this, they entered the temple courts at daybreak and began teaching. Now when the high priest and those who were with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin -- that is, the whole high council of the Israelites -- and sent to the jail to have the apostles brought before them.

"We found the jail locked securely and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
