Why do you get out in Facebook jail?
In a temporary blocking setting, Facebook would block your account for a fixed or specified period of time, generally a few hours or a few days. The maximum time for blocking by Facebook is 30 days. Once you go over this period of time, you get out of Facebook jail and get access to your account.
If you're in Facebook jail, you will know because you will notice certain new restrictions on your account. You may or may not receive an email or notification from Facebook and it is only when you try to perform certain actions that you will get a notification.
We may block people from doing something on Facebook when: Something you posted or shared seems suspicious or abusive to our security systems. Messages or friend requests you sent were marked unwelcome. You've done something that doesn't follow our Community Standards.
Temporary: Facebook imposes a temporary restriction that may range from a few hours to 21 days. Permanently: If Facebook believes the violation to be particularly severe, a permanent block may be implemented, in which your account is permanently deleted and you are unable to access the account ever again.
