Your play time changes it
Jail time also depends on your play time. With less than 15 hours you serve 25% of the usual time. With less than 150 hours you serve 50%, and with less than 1500 hours 75%. Above 1500 hours you serve the full time.

Pay to leave now
Only if you want to leave jail now.
Type /payjailfine without a number. It pays for all the time you have left, and you leave jail at once. You need cash in hand: bank money does not work for /payjailfine.

The same line also shows on the black death screen when a wanted player is killed, not only when you enter jail.
