It's actually similar, but not identical.  jail has more restrictions
than chroot does.  See:

    http://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/papers/jail/jail-4.html

If you use the grsecurity patch:

    http://www.grsecurity.net/

you can configure your Linux chroot to behave similarly to jail.

I use this in conjunction with mod_chroot on some high-security
applications:

    http://core.segfault.pl/~hobbit/mod_chroot/

And neither of these prevents break-ins; they limit the damage that
can be done if and when a break-in does occur.  Fortunately that's
generally a big piece of what you care about, so they do improve
security quite a bit.
