There is a lot of documentation available for jail on the net. What you specifically need will depend on your specific linux distro and what you want to achieve exactly.

A good starting point might be http://rhcelinuxguide.wordpress.com/2006/07/02/linux-jail/ - first Google result for "jail linux".

A simple alternative to complex jail is assigning lshell to the concerned user(s).

lshell is a shell coded in Python, that lets you restrict a user's environment to limited sets of commands, choose to enable/disable any command over SSH (e.g. SCP, SFTP, rsync, etc.), log user's commands, implement timing restriction, and more.
