Shouldn't it be "Jailbroken"?

[Wilson Gray]

At least one linguist famous in the field, R.P.V. Kiparsky, has
claimed in lectures and in print that derived verbs tend to be
regularized, in all Indo-European languages, at least. Under this
theory, "jailbreaked" is the form predicted to appear. Larry, equally
famous in the field, as is arnold, had an interesting comment
regarding this claim, the last time that this kind of phenomenon was
discussed, here.
