A dank and dark prison located in the tower of the castle. There is a single bench made of stone and a bucket for eliminating waste. There are no windows and the prisoners never see the light of day.
Debtor's Prison, Inside Tower

I am a prisoner at the current point in my life. I was thrown in here for the wrong things and none of the guards will help me or let me explain my side. There is no way for me to fight this. I guess my only choice is to try and break out. I have a family I need to take care of.
What are you in here for newbie? I failed to pay my debt to a merchant who was cheating me. And how did that dastard do that? I do not know for sure how he did it but the ledgers did not match mine. I plan on begging the king for his mercy. Well, you might find yourself waiting for some time.  Aside from the Jailor you're the first new face I've seen in what must be a decade or more - hard to keep track without the sun. We are the only prisoners in this debtor's prison?  Did you get taken by the same merchant as me?  The one with gray hair and a beard like a goat?  Watch where you aim...I have to mop the floor. I was a young man when I was placed here - and was never told my crime, nor who accused me of it.  Now I am old, broken, and without hope.  Frank was my last cellmate, but he lasted only a month before dying and being eaten by rats. That doesn't bode well for me.  I a have been granted an audience with the king.  I had once done him a service and he knows I'm an honest man.  Oh yes, "audience with the king" now is it?  How long do you think they can string you on with that one?  A week?  A year?  Five?  One day you will realise it was a lie, that it was all a lie, and the only reason you have been placed here is to rot and die.  You are old and senile and you've given up hope.  Has any of your family visited you while you've been here all these years? You just don't get it do you?  No one has come.  No one will come.  Our only choice is to escape and hope to clear our names. Escape...that will just land us back here or with our head separated from our shoulders...you are a foolish old man...I have friends in high places!
