openssh unix dev - Apr 2016 - Backspace key does not work in a ssh chroot jail

I setup a ssh chroot jail following this[1] guide.  It works for my user to
login, use ls and use scp which is all I really want.  I do have a problem I
cannot solve: when connected and navigating the filesystem, the backspace key
actually moves the cursor forward and does not delete what I type.

I may have found a hint from some googling that readline will read in
/etc/inputrc on login but if this is true, I am unsure what component of
readline might I require to copy over from the live system into the chroot jail.

For reference, I include the tree view of the chroot jail I created below. 
Thank you kindly for any suggestions.

Have you looked at your 'stty' settings? Do
    stty -a
and see what the 'erase' variable equates to.

What are you using for an SSH client? On what OS? Some clients can pass 
along settings during the login procedure.

Initially, I did not copy /usr/bin/stty from the root filesystem to the jail.  I
just did now and I have attached the output of the command you asked about
below.  To answer your other question: the ssh client is the linux native
/usr/bin/ssh (provided by openssh 7.2p2).
