Using a jails file.. and perhaps some creativity.. you could do something like
this:

prison bob 1

And send bob to prison cell one.  cells would be defined in the jail file, with
mapnames and coordinates of arrival.  Perhaps you could even come up with a way
to figure out which cells were occupied, so "prison" with no args gives you a
list of the incarcerated.  Perhaps the jails file would define the four
interior corners of the cell and you could scan the area for players.

I would suggest a global jails file, rather than one in the maps. That way you
could theoretically have more than one jail, and define them centrally.
