The song is "Jailhouse Rock" and yes, it takes place in a jail. The song was written to be the theme for a movie starring Elvis Presley, who was a HUGE star, especially with teenagers at that time (1957). The lyrics, sung by Elvis, are about how the warden threw a party for the inmates, and he used Rock Music to win over the "jailbirds" (prisoners), several of whom got so caught up in the music that they didn't even want to escape when they had a chance. The song was not only a fun rock and roll song, but it reinforced the theme of the movie-- that rock music could have positive effects on people (even inmates). The movie itself was about a young prisoner (played by Elvis) whose musical talents help him to turn his life around and become a success.
