Hi, You might try a looking at Match in the sshd_config man pages, ChrootDirectory.
Something like this in sshd_config, home directories must be root owned if chrooted. This is in Openssh v5.1, not sure when it was introduced. ChrootDirectory %h Subsystem sftp internal-sftp Match group wheel ChrootDirectory none This defaults to chroot to the home directory, unless users are in the group wheel, you can do this the other way around default is not to chroot, users in a specific group are chrooted.
