Dungeon
Dungeons are used to hold enemies of a regime, and their very existence frightens some people into unquestioning obedience. It is not just a place where common criminals are locked up but is also very useful for keeping important individuals who are being held for ransom, or as surety for future good behaviour. After any successful conquest there will naturally be a number of important captives - military commanders, key government officials or members of a rich and powerful family. Dungeons are also places that causes the radical elements among local people to behave themselves, otherwise who is to say that they will end up as "guests"?
