The third and fourth dialogues in the sequence, "Crito" and "Phaedo," are set in prisons -the one in "Crito" is in Athens, the one in "Phaedo" in a small town called Phlius. There is the sense in both dialogues that while his body may be confined, his mind and soul are freer than they have ever been.
