Jail/Gaol in Monopoly is the first corner space on the board after Go, which is the starting square for the iconic board game. The other corner spaces are Free Parking, which under normal Monopoly rules does nothing for or against the player, and the Go to Gaol/Jail space, which is one of several ways for a player to be sent to jail.

Landing on the Jail Space

No worries about landing directly on the "In Jail" square as if one is not sent to jail, (s)he is considered "just visiting." While there, one may say hello to Jake the Jailbird, the character behind bars who is always in jail on the Monopoly board. It is also considered fair to make fun of any players in jail while visiting (as long as it is all in good fun, of course).
When one is sent to jail in Monopoly, it is immediate, and it ends one's current turn.
There are four ways to go to jail:
  1. the dice roll causes one to land on the Go to Jail cornerpiece
  2. landing on Chance and drawing the "Go Directly to Jail" card
  3. landing on Community Chest and drawing the "Go to Jail" card
  4. rolling doubles three times in a row during one's turn
If any of these four scenarios happens, there is no continuation of a turn, and if one passed Go during that roll, (s)he cannot collect $200 in salary. If one rolled her/his way to jail, (s)he cannot buy any property (s)he would have landed on had one taken her/his turn, or pay any rent to the owner of that property.

Getting out of Gaol

When sent to jail, the turn ends. But no worries, no one will be stuck in jail for long. When it is one's turn again, one can choose one of four options to get out of jail.
  1. Use a "Get out of Jail Free" card if one is owned. As with paying the fine, the dice can then be rolled and one can move as normal.
  2. Buy a "Get out of Jail Free" card from another player, which can be a good deal if negotiated and one pays less than the $50 fine.
  3. Roll the dice. Rolling doubles set one free and (s)he can move forward just as if (s)he had rolled those doubles on a normal turn. However, one cannot roll again as it is normally done when rolling doubles. One can not choose to pay the fine or play a "Get out of Jail Free" card after failing to roll doubles unless this is the third attempt.
  4. If one fails to roll doubles on the third attempt, (s)he must either pay the fine or play a "Get out of Jail Free" card. If needed, houses can be sold, any property can be mortgaged, or a property can be liquidated to raise the money for the fine. After paying the fine, one may move forward the number of spaces indicated by the last failed attempt to roll doubles.
Unable to raise the money to pay the fine, and one goes bankrupt and is out of the game.

When Going to Jail Can Be a Good Thing

Monopoly jail is not always a bad thing. In fact, as the game progresses, jail can become a positive outcome. Early in the game, one wants to keep moving around the board to land on properties to buy and build a real estate portfolio. At this stage, going to jail means forfeiting that opportunity. This means that one really will want to pay the fine or use a "Get out of Jail Free" card on their next move.

But later in the game, when most of the properties on the board are already owned, the only benefit of moving around the board is the $200 collected by passing Go and the chance of drawing a beneficial card after landing on Chance or Community Chest. If the opponents have houses and hotels, staying in jail can be a great way to avoid them. In jail, one still collects rents from her/his properties and the opponents may need to sell or trade their properties. It is getting the benefits without the risks.

However, as much as one might want to stay in jail forever, (s)he must leave if rolling doubles or after the third failed attempt at rolling doubles.
