A slang term used to describe minors, usually teens, that adults find attractive and want to have sex with, but who are under the age of consent. It's illegal for an adult to have sex with a person who's underage (specific age of consent varies by country/region), and doing so is a crime and will send you to jail.
Thus, a minor that an adult wants to have sex with and/or views in a sexual context is "bait" and engaging in sexual contact with them will land you in jail.
Due to the predatory and pedophilic nature of the way the adult in the scenario views the minor (who is legally a child), the word "jailbait" is, inherently, a predatory term.

"Jessica's so sexy, but she's only 15. Total jailbait!"
"Dude don't talk about her like that, she's a child! That's so disgusting!"
