The first time Hitler went to prison was in 1921 when he and his followers disrupted a meeting of the Bayernbund. He was incarcerated for three months.

On 8/9 November 1923 Hitler and his followers attempted to overthrow the German Government in what became known as the Beer Hall Putsch. Hitler issued a declaration, which read: Proclamation to the German people! We declare that the Government of the November criminals has been deposed today. A provisional national German government has been formed consisting of Gen Ludendorff, Adolf Hitler, Gen. von Lossow and Col. von Seisser.

During the putsch, which was put down on 9 November 1923, 2 soldiers, 4 policemen and 16 Nazis were killed. Hitler escaped injury but Herman Goering, who also participated in the putsch was shot in the thigh and groin (ironically he was taken to the home of a Jewish family, Robert Ballin and his wife, who took him in and nursed his wounds).

Hitler's trial began on 26 February 1924, and Hitler was sentenced to five years Festungshaft (literally fortress confinement) for high treason. He only served 9 months though (which isn't even a quatre of what he was meant to keep) , during which time he wrote the first part of his book "Mein Kampf" or "My Struggle" He was also treated like a king in there...
