Three stories I recal-- not jailed *at the end* of the story though.
"Volcano Valley" (DD FC 147, May '47)
WDC&S 168 ("Cheltenham's Choice", Sept '54, Album 26):
A big-mouthed mynah Donald just bought insults a policeman
and flies away and the ducks are sent to jail:
"This is a case of rank *injustice*!"
WDC&S 176 ("The Ghost Sheriff of Last Gasp", May '55, Album 28):
The ducks get trapped in the jail.
The motif of imprisonment & its variations are quite recurrent throughout
the ducks' adventures and would be intereseting to study:
"Volcano Valley" & "Lost in the Andes", deep-diving (in the sphere, WDC&S 177),
in the Cathedral's organ ("Phantom of Notre-Duck"), locked out of the Bin
("Forbidium Money Bin"), ...
