I think it is best to not give the ret feedback, thus making the ret have to pick roles that can use abilities. Maybe make the jailor an unstoppable attack version of the vig?
The ret would be OK picking investigative roles if he plans to pick a vig/jailor later (since the investigative roles can tell the dead vig/jailor things).
I imagine the ret'd Jailor being able to do his entire role, with the exception of speaking. As in, the person he picks is jailed for the night, and can tell the Jailor things, but the dead Jailor can't talk back; he just has to silently decide whether to execute. (And this decision is completely silent - there's no "decided to execute you" message, only the "You have been executed" message if that was the Jailor's final decision.) - Probably the Jailor would be able to discuss the situation with the other dead while he's listening to the jailed person talk.
In my formulation, the ret'd roles can't use their ability the same night the Ret picks them - they would instead get a "stored use" that they could use on some future night (or day, in the case of the Jailor).
