Jails
When you attempt to thieve from a player or shop and fail, you will be sent to jail for a certain amount of seconds. Which jail you are sent to depends on your location: almost every map has it's own jail to lock up thieves. If a map has no jail, either thieving is not possible there, or you will be sent to a jail on a different map.
One cannot thieve in a location occupied by an invasion/event or in The Outlands.
The minimum jail time is 25 seconds and the maximum jail time is 10800 seconds (3 hours).
