# Commands

Every Jails and Jails+ command, marked by edition.

The root command is `/jails`. Free Jails also accepts `/j`. Jails+ also accepts `/j`, `/jp`, and `/jailsplus`.

Each command needs a permission from Permissions.

In Jails+, `/jails jail`, `/jails tempjail`, `/jails ipjail`, and `/jails unjail` accept an optional `-s` flag to suppress the public broadcast. The staff member and the target player still receive private messages.

Jails+ `jail` and `tempjail` also accept an optional cell name after the reason.
