About BetterJails
From SpigotMCA simple, yet effective jails management system.
A simple jails system plugin aimed for most Minecraft versions.
It lets you manage jails, jail offline players, and sentence time will be over when prisoners have been online for the required time, or they can be offline too (settable in config file).
It also has integration with Essentials (if loaded into the server), changing the Jailed tag when necessary.
And it has optional integration with Vault to change the player's group when jailed/unjailed.
