I suggest that the Jailor be changed to a Town Investigative, and only talk to their target. They could not execute, and their target would not be protected and could use their abilities as usual. This prevents Jailor from being definitively better than 3 other roles. Their ability to communicate is still quite useful, and can gather information and role claims for the Town.

Possessor and Space keep exchanging opinions, so I though I might add to the discussion.

Jailor is not that OP. It is meant to be like this so that the Town can have some kind of backbone to their (Group?), so that they can privatly talk with other people, possibly exchange information, and if the person is deemed evil, kill them!

There are also other problems that you need to adress:

No-TP Mayor: Lets say you're in a game, and theres a Mayor. As long as theres a Doctor, you should be fine. But what if the Mayor reveals? You better hope you have a BG or Crus or any other kind of TP. But what if there is no TP? Thats where Jailor comes into action. The Jailor now has 2 choices. Choice 1 is keep on doing his job, while taking the risk that the Mayor would die at night. Or take choice 2, where the Jailor becomes a TP, and now has the ability to protect the Mayor. The fact that you're saying you should rid the Jailor of giving the target Powerful defense makes no sense at all.

Serial Killer Situation: We've all been in that situation before. You jail a WW or a SK and you don't execute him. And you die as a result. This is why the execute function exists. You can spot anomalies in the Sk's Doctor claim, and execute him before he kills you. The fact that Jailor would have no attack results in this kind of situation

"Oh, I jailed someone, lets talk for a little bit"

"Suprise, I'm Serial Killer, and now that you have no means of defending, you're going to die!"

I'm just sharing personal oppinions about this situation. I think that Jailor is in a perfect position right now, and shouldn't be buffed nor nerfed either.
