Currently (2008) the term "jailin" refers to the practice of wearing extremely low riding jeans, usually baggy, often with a belt drawn tightly to prevent them from falling down around one's ankles. In some areas suspenders are worn or buttons are sewn inside the shirt to enable the wearer to affix the jeans to the shirt. The practice frequently involves the jeans riding just at the point in the back where one's buttocks meet the thighs, exposing the wearer's underwear. As one might suspect, the participants spend a goodly portion of their day hiking up their jeans, and re-tightening their belts. This readjusting often occurs in public rather than in the bathroom.

The practice originated in the prison system (hence the term "jailin"), for two different reasons. One was the fact that pants rode lower on inmates because they were not permitted to have belts. The other lesser-known origin of the practice is that male inmates would wear low-riding pants to communicate to other male inmates that they were sexually available. (The source for this second origin is prison guards who shared this with a police officer present in the prison during a riot.)

It appears that "jailin" is not a recognized term or word in English. It might be a misspelling or a typo for another word. If you provide more context or details, I may be able to assist you further.
