Jailors are guards who work in the dungeons. If you need to visit a prisoner, you can talk to the jailor and he will open the door to the cells and come with you. Sometimes jailors will need to be bribed to gain access to the cells. Unlike other guards, Jailors will immediately attack you on sight if you escape from prison, and will not give you the chance to re-enter jail. They will warn you of this tendency if spoken to through cell doors: "No talking. And, by the way, we execute escaping prisoners. Just a friendly reminder."

Although jailors are named according to their respective cities (e.g. Bruma Jailor), they are all considered to be Imperial Jailors.

These guards patrol in a small office. If you choose to go to jail after being caught committing a crime, the Evidence Chest is also found in this room, from which you can retrieve your confiscated items. In doing this you are committing another crime and may be attacked on sight. Obviously, once you have served your time in prison, your stolen items will be returned. Jailors always wear the local guard uniforms and are armed with silver maces. They also carry the cell keys and usually the keys to the nearby castle. Like guards, Jailors also have shifts. When their shift is over, they will proceed to their quarters and swap with a refreshed Jailor to take over their role.

If the player has a disposition towards them higher than 70, the jailors will play an unique greeting dialogue instead of their guard one that is "What can I do fer ya, sir/ma'am?"

Adversely, if the player has a high enough infamy, jailors will also play a more hostile greeting: "Crime don't pay. My cells is full of fools thinkin' it did. I might just sees ya there soon."

The first RefID and BaseID is for the jailor working during the day, the other is for the jailor working during the night.

Bugs[edit]

  • If you unlock the door to the cell you are sent to when you go to jail, ask to visit a prisoner and assault the jailor inside your cell, once you go to jail he will remain in the same cell and proceed to unlock the door for you when exiting it. If this happens, the jailor or other guards inside the prison will not attack you on sight until you interact with any door. You will also be able to kill the jailor or any other guard without receiving a bounty for either assault or murder, as he simply ignores any hits (but if there are other imprisoned NPCs, they may still report the crime).
