Summary	0011617: Children born in prison are never released
Description	Children born while their mothers are in prison are never set free. When their mother is released, they remain behind in prison for the rest of their lives, unless they escape and flee into the wild or get expelled due to religious persecution. This seems unjust even by dwarven standards.

In current worldgen, most prisoners settle in the place they were taken prisoner after release and children mostly live in the place they were born. There's no Legends entry for "still in prison", so what are you basing this on?

naethyta 2020-09-06 23:12 reporter ~0040716	I don't know where you got the idea that prison status isn't recorded in the legends. Former prisoners (those who were released or escaped) are listed in their histfig record as "former prisoner" of that site government. Current prisoners (those who are still in prison) are listed in their histfig record as "prisoner" of that site government. In the world sites and pops file, you will find the number of current prisoners at a site recorded under their race + "prisoner". Here are some highlighted examples: https://imgur.com/a/oJP209t
