unjailed
Outside prison walls
Unjailed means not in jail—either never incarcerated or released from incarceration.
The word typically appears in contexts emphasizing that someone avoided or escaped imprisonment: The corrupt official remains unjailed despite overwhelming evidence.
It often carries an undertone of injustice, suggesting someone who should be behind bars isn't.
