There are gaols in Whitebrim which you can visit. There's a Roegadyn heretic in one of them and a quest from the gaoler wanting you to bring one of the prisoners a dead rat or something to use in some heretic ritual so he'll shut up about wanting raw bloody meat for an hour. (He thinks the rat is a dragon and he'll turn into a dravanian by drinking its blood.) There's also a guy down there falsely accused of heresy that you end up proving his innocence in the questline.
So, yes, there are prisons and they do seem to remain there for some time. However, this could just be because places like Whitebrim and Dragonhead and beyond are outside the city-state and it takes time to get an Inquisitor out there to pass judgement on the prisoners. So they may just use the gaols as a place to hold heretics until they can put them to death.
Ah, yes, I remember those quests now. Well, rescuing prisoners from a place like Whitebrim is certainly less dramatic than rescuing them from Ishgard, but it would probably be more doable. Solenne's group probably did more of that and less infiltrating of Ishgard... although the latter is still so appealing to me. I feel that some very clever actors/spies posing as minor nobles might have pulled it off. Maybe I'm just too attached the concept of my character as a mash-up of the Scarlet Pimpernel and Milady de Winter. >.>
At any rate, you've all given me a lot to think about! For now I think I'll keep the details of Solenne's past exploits vague. It's not like it's something she goes around talking about to everyone she meets, after all.
