No.  The reasons are discussed in the file CHROOT in the source
distribution.

In most cases, a much better option is to chroot them to some base
directory, and then limit their access to directories in the base
directory with file permissions.  Users will, unfortunately, be able
to see the directories of the other users, but they won't be able to
get into them.

Creating individual chroot jails for every user is not practical, from
any perspective.
