Silverdearth Prison

Silverdearth Prison is a privately owned debtor's' prison which is licensed by the city of Baldur's Gate to incarcerate debtors until their debts are repaid. It is on the site of one of the keeps of the city watch which fell into disrepair and was purchased by one of the wealthy families in the city and turned into a prison. Prisoners who are fit to work are hired out as indentured laborers to the docks and to farms outside the city. Prisoners who are not fit to work are kept in the dungeon in the lower levels of the prison.
