A setting is treated as equivalent to prison in many ways, even if it does not explicitly call itself a prison. It is often a place of "refuge" that for all intents and purposes is a prison. Often, this means there is some threat just outside the refuge itself. Note that this portrayal often revolves around the idea that "confined against will" is equivalent to prison, even if the living conditions aren't as bad as they would be at a prison (or even better than what the prisoner is used to). The old saying that "a gilded cage is still a cage" acknowledges the idea of a prison being a prison, no matter how comfortable, and there is some overlap of the Gilded Cage with this trope. In historical works, this trope frequently affects people seeking respite from hostile forces (often government or law enforcement) in a church or temple. Their refuge effectively becomes this trope if they must stay within its buildings or grounds to remain unmolested. Alternatively, wayward clerics might find themselves consigned to a monastery for a period as part of their penance. In modern usage, this trope can be explicitly judicial or more a matter of political control. House arrest (a common punishment for juveniles and a sentence pronounced by actual courts of law) and not being allowed to leave the city (because there is a pending court procedure involving you) are examples of the former. Whenever the government of a country doesn't allow its citizens to travel abroad, or at least significantly limits their possibility to do so (a notable example was East Germany) would fall under the latter category. Of course, some of the judicial uses of this are for political "offences". Supertrope to Locked Away in a Monastery. Compare Deadly Environment Prison, where the danger is the surrounding environment itself rather than the authorities and the prison nature of the location is usually more explicit. See also Gilded Cage for an upper-class variety. Also compare Hikikomori, where the confinement is self-imposed. |

Heralds of Valdemar: Two characters connected to the kidnapping of Amily meet this fate at the end of Changes. Tobias Marchand is "assigned" to a chronicler's post at a border Guard station, the posting is specifically referred to as lifetime house arrest. A Healer who worked for the kidnappers is sent to be the resident Healer at a prison for the rest of his life. In Brightly Burning, an insane woman guilty of attempted murder is sentenced to be bricked up in a hermit's cell for the rest of her life. (Misses Locked Away in a Monastery status because she doesn't take vows. However, her family is still required to make the usual "gift" to the religious order for her care.) |

The Redemption of Harley Quinn: At the end, Harley is allowed to be trained to become a PTSD psychiatrist, and Poison Ivy is allowed to be her domestic partner, but their criminal records still stand. From now on, every single aspect of their lives will be monitored by law enforcement, and will never have any real freedom or privacy (except in bed). Furthermore, Harley will never be allowed to contact her twin daughters, whose adoptive parents can seal up her status as their birth mother. Harley doesn't mind any of this as long as she gets to help people, and Ivy doesn't mind either just as long as Harley's happy. | |

In the first Time of Troubles flashback in the Deverry novels, the surviving women of the Wolf clan seek sanctuary in a temple. The head of the Boar clan, which had slain all the men and most of the soldiers of the Wolf, declined to break sanctuary, but left a squad of men with enough supplies to last them for a month or more waiting on the only road leading away from the temple to capture the women if they try to leave. This lasts until some survivors of the Wolf war band attack and kill the besieging squad. | |

Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Duo: In order to keep them safe from Dr. Hishki, Nikora gathers all seven Mermaid Princesses and declares that they're forbidden to leave the Pearl Piari for any reason until the threat has passed. It doesn't take long for the group to sneak out, and after Nikora has a talk with Maki over it and is nearly captured by Hishki's minions herself, she relents as long as they be careful and watch their backs. | |

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Sirius is forced to stay in the house he ran away from as a teenager since the Ministry of Magic is hunting for him and has already shown that they will sentence him to a Dementor's Kiss without trial the moment they get their hands on him. While the family that abused him is all dead and gone their portraits and Kreacher still spout their xenophobic rhetoric constantly and drive him a bit mad; noticeably he only seems to start mixing up Harry with his father after being stuck in the house for months. | |

Grey Skies Universe: After the events of the Revolution, Alfred (America) is left confined to Arthur (England)'s house for decades, with British spies to watching to make sure he doesn't leave. Matthew (Canada) is allowed out to handle household affairs and goes out for both of them, and eventually, the second Revolution brews during his outings in the early 19th century. | |

The Sanctuary Districts shown in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Past Tense". In the mid-21st century, America faced ever-rising rates of unemployment and homelessness that Sanctuary Districts were set up as temporary housing districts for jobless and homeless citizens, so long as they don't have criminal records. The repeal of the Federal Employment Act of 1946, however, resulted in job placement services being practically scrapped, with those who find themselves in the Sanctuary Districts essentially imprisoned there, possibly for life, since no one was allowed to leave "for their own safety", essentially making them modern-day debtors' prisons. | |

The Girls' Working School in Monstrous Regiment is described as worse than many prisons — the only reason it's not one is because, even in Nugganite Borogravia, the actions that get girls sent there aren't actually crimes. | |

Beacon Academy itself becomes this for Roman Torchwick and Headmaster Jaune Arc in Professor Arc, given there's still a lot of Atlesian military forces outside. Both are still technically wanted men since they escaped military custody, though popular opinion is beginning to push for the charges to be thrown out, since they were pivotal in repulsing Cinder's vast attack on Vale. | |

Contrary to its portrayal in Fate/Grand Order, the Chaldea of Learning with Manga! FGO is pretty much a prison for its Servants. They do have their accommodations and are allowed to use the facilities within, but they get shoved into a room if they're not useful to Gudako's team and are locked up indefinitely after they reach max bond with her. | |

In the epilogue of The Vow, Lord Shen is forced to live secretly in the Shan Palace, the home of his wife Lady Lianne. This is her way of using her noble's right to condemn him on her lands for his crimes as she sees fit, and while a secret life inside the borders of her palace is a form of imprisonment, it's still more merciful than whatever any other authority of China would inflict on him. While it takes time for Shen to accept this unappealing course of life, he has at the very least his wife and son. | |

Dragon historian Jin Jae-Hoon is imprisoned in one of these in The Secret World. More specifically, his prison is Seoul — as in an entire city. Since the Dragon need him around to serve as their chronicler, he can spend his time anywhere within the city limits but attempting to leave will only result in the Silent Monks being sent out to retrieve him; plus, the Dragon are masters of predicting and manipulating events, so there's no point in running anyway. By now, Jae-Hoon's adjusted to his incarceration, and spends his days lounging in the foyer of the Kumiho Hotel, listening to the music and reviewing his notes until someone asks him a question. | |
