(I'm mostly talking about a dry cave, because living with your feet and legs constantly under a pool of water would be impractical if you're not some sort of sea creature, to say the least.)
This is a random idea I just came up with, and I haven't fully thought of the implications of the idea, but I think a cave would be practical in one aspect, because caves are made of rock, most people would not be able to just punch through cave walls, I would imagine.
It would likely require a bit of modifying the environment, but to do that, I think you could perhaps just sturdily attach a few bars and a door to the surrounding rock, and that would take up a lot less resources than making an entire building from scratch. Or maybe you could place them in a hole of some sort, and a ladder would be lowered when the inmates are allowed to come out.
There's the problem with light, but maybe you could have lit torches, or something that glows in the dark, like bioluminescent organisms, for example.
What kind of people do you think could be confined in there? Criminals would perhaps be obvious, but what about mental patients, for instance? Do you think putting them in a cave would be a good way to treat them, or is it a bad way? What other sort of people can you think of that could be confined in a cave?
Feel free to point out any flaws you can think of.
