I was thinking, if you thought Jail was a metaphor...then the story of the virgin mary would fit as well. The crime they supposedly committed did not actually take place (i.e. premarital sex), there was no room at the inn, so they had to stay in the manger. Back in the day...it was certainly back in the day. idk, what does everyone think.

A lot of riddles can be interpreted through ambiguity. It depends on how far you (the riddle reader) want to push the metaphor. Granted, I'm sure there is no clear line between what was intended and what you can make fit; but I'm sure there can be an area where a majority will rule that a metaphor is too far fetched or lacking substance.

But that's one of the beauties of riddling.
