''Warning: There are not a lot of cons. (Jailor is too overpowered for that)''

Better 

- if the Jailor is controlled or role blocked, its detainee will still receive Powerful defence. Whilst Doctor can be role blocked by a, or controlled to protect evils.

- it can stop harmful effects that Doctor can't, such as dousings, hexings, blackmailing, etc.

- it can protected a revealed Mayor

Worse 

- the Jailor can be controlled to execute the person he's trying to protect, whilst Doctor can't

- the Jailor cannot heal poison, whilst Jailor can

- it has to role block a townie in order to protect them. whilst Doctor does not

Better 

- it overrides role block immunity, whilst can't. This can stop roles such as /,, ,  or.

- if the Jailor is controlled it will stop role block its target, whilst the Escort can be controlled into townies.

Worse 

- The Coven Leader commonly controls its target into the, if it controls the Escort into the Medusa, the Medusa will be role blocked which can save other townies. If it controls the Jailor into the Medusa, the other visitors will still get stoned.

Better 

- it can kill immune targets, whilst Vigilante can't

- it cannot be intercepted by, who were either controlled, reanimated or just protected the wrong target, whilst Vigilante can

- executions cannot be stopped by a, whilst a Vigilante's shoot can

- it cannot execute the wrong target due to a

- it cannot be controlled into executing a random player; only the player it jailed. It cannot be forced to execute on the first night whilst the Vigilante can

- it does not die of guilt when killing a townie, whilst Vigilante does

Worse 

- the or  can see who is jailed in their Night Chat, which may prompt them to role block or control the Jailor, whilst a Vigilante's shoot only happens at the end of the night, which may be unexpected for them.

Other Reasons it's better

- it can talk to its target, gain leads and decide whether or not its target is evil

- if a, or  attacks its detainee, it won't die due to its jailing not being a visit.

- it can't die by or

Other Reasons it's worse

- the fact that all visits against its target fail can prevent a townie from visiting the same target, which can prevent a from getting information, a  from healing a poisoned target, a  from placing a trap on them, or a  from shooting them if the Jailor has no executions, or is role blocked/controlled

Conclusion: Jailor is OP
