Maybe:
DefaultRoot ~ users,!personnel

Since the default for DefaultChdir is ~ everyone will start in his
defined home directory but a user who is member of the users group
can't move out of it.
http://www.de.proftpd.org/docs/directives/configuration_full.html#DEFAULTROOT
and
http://www.de.proftpd.org/docs/directives/configuration_full.html#DEFAULTCHDIR

In case you want everyone chrooted in his home directory just skip the users part
from the DefaultRoot directive.
