[Let people go offline in jail]

Honestly I think the answer here is to add something to do in jail that would reduce your sentence time.  A menial job like one of those people do for money but for pennies on the dollar and x amount of time reduced per task completed.  Such would dissuade people from simply afk'ing if they wanted to get back to their RP'ing quicker and not punish those of us who have a limited amount of time to play.  Increasing jail times would harm those types of players I realize, after thinking about it.

I feel offering an option between AFK'ing and being bored waiting or gritting your teeth to get back faster is probably the way to go, because keeping a real consequence on the player is important here.  Coding a third option in being longer yet offering the ability to offline is a possibility but I'm not sure #1 if that's possible and #2 if it would still dissuade people from getting caught.  Basically I don't know, but those are some options I can think of.

I like the idea of having a job in jail... I understand both sides of this discussion, I think that having a job that take about 5 to 10 minutes could take off 5 minutes. I like this idea because your still rp'ing, playing the game, not afk, and working at achieving a short term goal. This could make an 2 hour jail sentence into an hour or 45 minute jail sentence, which is not bad compared to what it is. I like the idea @Taedolf
