To arrest: to have a policeman take you to the police station.
To captive: incorrect grammer. The word captive is a noun which means a prisoner, someone who has been captured.
To jail: not used anymore really, but it means to put someone in jail.
To capture: to catch someone or something.
Example:
"I was arrested in 2019, and put in jail for 5 years. I escaped two years ago but they captured me."
