Your not running the whole command with sudo. try
sudo sh -c "chroot /tmp/jail /bin/echo 'test' > /home/someone/.bash_history"
The part after the redirect isnt running as root
For more examples
How do I use sudo to redirect output to a location I don't have permission to write to?

Hi, Thanks for the swift help! I think this need sudo sh which I don't have. – ponypaver May 02 '13 at 09:04

BTW, if I got sh sudo rights, then I think I can do everything with the root shell. – ponypaver May 02 '13 at 09:11

Yes sudo sh gives you a shell and -c runs it. Alternativly you can pipe it to sudo tee ? – exussum May 02 '13 at 09:27

But I don't have sudo tee enabled as well. :( – ponypaver May 02 '13 at 09:28
