Riften Jail

Description
Riften Jail is the the Jailhouse inside the city of Riften.

Prisoners

 * Brand-Shei
 * Sibbi Black-Briar
 * Threki the Innocent
 * Molgrom Twice-Killed

Shadowmarks
In the cell the player gets locked into, there is a symbol that is a circle with a line going down the middle and a triangle at the bottom. The Shadowmark for Escape. To the left of this is an interaction that says "Activate, Broken Shackle," and when activated the guards in the prison will start to attack the player. Backtracking through the drainage sluice near the docks reveals the shackle was intended to break the wall leading to the escape tunnel, but this is non-functional and will only aggro the guards. It is not possible to physically or magically break the wall either.

Related Quests
Normally, the Dragonborn can speak to Brand-Shei in the Riften marketplace to initiate a quest where he investigates Brand-Shei's past. After completing the Thieves Guild initiation quest "A Chance Arrangement", however, Brand-Shei will be found in the Riften Jail. The Dragonborn can still talk to him and complete the quest for him. After completing the quest, Brand-Shei gives the Dragonborn his marketplace key, but the loot at his stall is not substantial.
 * Promises to Keep - During this quest the Dragonborn must speak to Sibbi Black-Briar about his horse, he is in his cell.

Bugs

 * For an unknown reason (possibly from killing the guards who patrol the jail), the Riften Jail will bug and entering it will cause the game to freeze, every time. A known cure for this bug is to be arrested in Riften, which respawns the guards and allows the player to enter Riften Jail in the future without the game b ugging.
 * For an unknown reason, using a damaging shout or Unrelenting Force on the jailor will cause a red dot to appear on the compass as if there was an enemy in the southwest.
