Oh heck, the quest doesn't have to be repeatable really, just the area, It would make being a criminal much more challenging, and a lot more fun, make it replace all the prisons in Cyrodiil (make an exception for that one quest in Bruma, we do not want to break anything)

[sspawnlordofpingas]

or we make certain prisons in eveyr prison sow e are sure not to rbeak things

cant wait to test this stuff after its uploaded but i also wonder:who will be in the credits (i love that aprt of description)

authentic prisons had the following things (for immersion)

torture areas (this is key) - iron maidens strecher racks and varius impliments used for sexual torture
Interogation chambers - a single table with 3 or 4 chairs blood everywhere.
cells - see vanilla oblivion
there is also a chained up pose pack that you might be able to aply to actors and NPC in the mod.

just throwing this out there

I'd LOVE it if there was a chance we could get tortured in prison!
I've no idea how easy it is to mod the game, because I've not been playing it very long - but it'd be great if paying the fine meant you'd end up in the normal cells, as you were being cooperative and maybe even a bit repentant about your arrest - but if you refused to pay, or couldn't pay, and were then defeated, instead of "dying", you'd be dragged off to the nearest prison and be given a thorough going over in the torture chamber.
The type of torture and length of time you spent there could be decided by how big your bounty was, and how many guards you'd killed or injured in the town, or even in your whole career, if your infamy was high enough that you were a known criminal everywhere.
The torture could go from whipping, through hot irons, the wooden horse and strappado right the way to the rack, depending on how infamous you were.
Like I said, I've no idea how easy a mod like that would be to make, but I know there are quite a few very cool dungeon poses already available, and a few devices, although sadly no rack, that's always been my favorite - but I guess the poses and devices would have to be animated too, not just static, which would be more work.

I was looking through some mods yesterday to see if anyone had made stuff that was similar to what I was thinking, and I found this one, which has something quite like the first stage of my idea - http://www.tesnexus....le.php?id=23862
It has an alternative where you can respawn at an inn or chapel when you're killed, or respawn in prison if you're killed while you have a bounty on your head, and that's ALMOST perfect, apart from it being a blanket respawn, so even if you were killed in the middle of nowhere, you'd still end up in prison if you had a bounty on your head, which isn't very realistic - my idea would mean you'd only end up in prison if you were killed by guards, or maybe even if you were killed inside a city.

And I also found this one, which at its base is similar to my idea too - http://www.tesnexus....le.php?id=14671
It gives you different shackles in prison that have different effects depending on your bounty as well as increasing the length of time you're in jail and giving you some stat penalties too, but it's missing the actual torture part of my idea.

I think it'd also be VERY cool if there was a more complex sentencing system for crimes, so that stealing from or killing peasants had a much lower effect than stealing from or killing people higher up in society, and gave you a much smaller bounty, because the standard system is lovely and equal, treating all victims as the same no matter what class they were from, it's not very suitable for the middle ages fantasy setting.

that sentence is true somehow =P
if someone well known dies you get really high bounty
if you kill someone who isnt known by noone the guards may not even notice you did
that would be perfect
and
maybe there could be something like...
if you got high bounty , the guards look for you through the whole country
would be fun too to hide from them or something like that
