If it is an iTouch, iPod, etc, you cannot take it to an Apple store to get fixed, updated, etc. as they do not accept jailbroken devices.

It basically gives the I device different functionality that Apple didnt approve of. It's safe if you know what you can and cannot install. There's a reason Apple doesn't allow these things on their devices, but not neccessarily all of it is bad.

What disantvantages does a jailbreak have?

When Jailbreaking a device, if the device breaks, the specified device cannot be taken back to apple unless it is restored. Jailbreaking can also make battery life worse, as more 'daemons' are running, such as themes, and back-grounding applications. However, Jailbreaking allows you to download app store applications for free, theme your device, and do so much more than before! The pros definitely out-way to cons! If your device screen breaks and you have to send it to apple, simply plug it into iTunes and click the restore button, which removes the jailbreak.
