DefaultRoot /path/to/ftp/directory

You can make that a global, or you can lock just one group there like

DefaultRoot ~ !specialgroup
DefaultRoot /path/to/forbidden/place

which would make everybody but members of the specialgroup group use their
home directory, and members of specialgroup would use
/path/to/forbidden/place.

The thing you want to search for in the proftpd docs is chroot.
