    One question: I have completed the main quest line now, but I still haven't found out the answer to one riddle - why was the hero in the Imperial prison at the beginning of the game?

    Actually, that's one question never solved in the game itself. Akin to Morrowind's beginning (you came to Morrowind on a prison ship), you find yourself imprisonned. The reason is yours to find. Perhaps you once were a most evil person, commiting a great amount of heinous crimes? Or, rather, were you not unjustly imprisoned for murder? It's literally up to you to decide.
    I believe Bethesda chose to do that because it was simple for the plot. Also, I merely conjecture here, but when criminals exit prison, don't they want to start a new life? And, even if you don't, in this game at least, you can chose to return to crime (Dark Brotherhood, anyone?).

    Also it is a bit of a tradition. I believe that all 4 of the games started with you in prison.

    Yep - every TES game has started with you in prison

    Indeed. Arena (the first Elder Scroll, from 1994) began with you finding a key in your cell to the cell door. Then you got in the sewers.

    If you are talking about actual gameplay, TES2: Daggerfall, TESA: Redguard, and TESL: Battlespire did not start you off in a prison.
