e-jail 

To incarcerate someone who anonymously harasses others via E-mail or Web article.

An excerpt from the new law listed as Section 113 "Preventing Cyberstalking" under the "Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act":

"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

Thanks to Congress a lot of annoying people will likely be e-jailed in the near future.

E-jail 

When the basic things to run your life all involve labyrinthine processes to get simple answers (forget about specialized, non-pre-recorded ones).

Example is having a utility bill emailed to you, then having trouble logging into their site to view it -- only to be sent to another series of screens to register, since it's your first time there ; or, to change passwords when you realize you don't recall the one you used two years ago when you first logged in (never having returned, since you chose to get paper bills for awhile after the Web service launched, but now the company has made it hard to do anything outside of online).

Oh, and generally, the experience of dealing with any service run by a large, government or corporate enterprise (cf. voicejail)

I couldn't call back because I was stuck in e-Jail trying to renew my license!

ejail

The condition of being enslaved by the contents of your inbox for an inordinately long period of time. This typically takes place in one of three situations.

1. When returning to work from holidays to find nine million people need an answer from you RIGHT NOW.

2. When your ex gets shitfaced and spends all night writing you their life story, then promises to post compromising videos of you together if you don't reply to them in equally excruciating detail.

3. When it's the holiday season and out of politeness you have to send insincere good wishes to innumerable relatives, acquaintances and business contacts who you haven't so much as farted near since the same time the previous year.

Sorry Bill, I can't come to your cocaine and strippers party. I'm facing three days of ejail after this fucking conference.
