My copy of LS in at the house, but they can use the mage hoods etc
while detaining them, and I believe keep them traqued to
the eyeballs otherwise. I'd think living walls of some type would be standard, just to
keep runners etc from wander the place.
Otherwise, anything that affects a mages concentration, can make
it very hard to do magic. Also, wonder what type of background count
a prison would get. Lots of abuse and hopelessness there, and I'd
imagine any spirit a shaman could summon would be fairly pitiful
argumentative etc.
So far none of my players have ever been foolish enough to get
caught yet and go to jail. (Even when I've tried to catch them).
I did however have an ex-con character once.
Anyway ciao.
