Introduction
Comitting several actions inside the game might lead you towards getting locked up in jail.
Actions such as; Criming, GTA, shooting world bosses/NPC's or trading drugs.
While you're in jail your actions will be limited.
Unless you get busted or bought out of prison buy another gangster you won't be able to leave the jail unless your jail time ended.
Busting
Players can decide to bust out other players from jail.
However, there is always a chance that if you fail to bust the other player that you might end up in jail yourself.
Buying out
Players can decide to buy out other players from jail.
Money spend on buying someone out of prison will not go towards the player.
Busting fees
You can choose to update your busting fee, this is money you will reward other players with when they successfully bust you out of jail.
If you do not have enough money on your hand upon landing in jail, other players won't be able to bust you out if your busting fee is over your current hand money.
Isolation
In very rare cases you'll see players who are in ISOLATION.
When a player is in ISOLATION they do not gain any stamina, you also won't be able to bust/buy them out of jail.
Jail punishment?!?
There is no real 'punishment' or bad side effect on your character for ending up in jail.
You won't be losing any stats or anything of the sorts, the only thing you'll be losing is time.
