In a FreeBSD jail: When using "jexec" to go into a jail and then attempting to ssh from it, it fails with:
debug1: read_passphrase: can't open /dev/tty: Device busy
You may also receive:
Host key verification failed.

As a workaround, intead use ssh to get into the jail. And then ssh should work fine from it.
