A dark underground prison is called a dungeon. These were very popular in the medieval era, due to the difficulty of escaping, and relative ease of maintenance. A prisoner would have to escape up several floors past guards and other residents of the fortress/castle in order to escape. Alternatively, a prisoner could get out through an underground passage, but these were very rare, and often were unstable.
