If you are running lightweight jails with just a single service inside them an the service dies for any reason the jail is destroyed as well. You can mark the jails as persistent to keep them around, but it wouldn't solve your real problem. Do you still have the /var/log/messages from around the time of the failure? As Allan Jude already mentions waking the OOM killer would be one possible explanation for the demise of your jails and I can attest from painful experience that the OOM killer has an uncanny knack for finding important processes e.g. the PostgreSQL or Postfix master processes.
