Oh, I dunno, I'd guess somewhere in Nidal probably.
'course, that might just be me...
Well, the Monolith in Isarn in Galt is Golarion's Bastille analogue, except that it hasn't fallen in forty years. Of course with Galtish pride being what it is, they would proudly say that it is Golarion's most "humane" prison, the same way as the Final Blades are the most "humane" form of execution.
Given forty years of schizophrenic administration changes, I think the number of prisoners in the Monolith who are utterly barking mad by this point must be pretty high.

is that the one that goes down into the darklands??
if so I did not mean that one
as that one should be given the shaft into the darklands
I don't know if the Monolith officially leads down to the Darklands, but since Isarn is an analogue of Paris, and Paris has its catacombs (and the current issue of National Geographic has a marvelous article about them), I'd say they'd be missing a big trick if the deepest dungeons of the Monolith didn't in fact connect to the Darklands in some fashion, since every winecellar and church basement in Isarn must too.
If I'm recalling things correctly, the
outside of GAlt...
I hate Galt
I wish there was a dungeon/prison book of golarion...
the final blades are over kill
their government is corrupt and the over use of the blades of Galt might be why,
better off to sneak in, and cast a nation wide dweaomer and disenchant every item icluding the final blades.
kill off the grey ones and the governemtn and then turn it back over to TAldor.then institgate a rebellion, kill off the prince nut job III and put his daughter on the throne.
and then after that negotiate a peace treaty between them and Andoran.
everybody would be happy, save those fools in Cheliax
Well, yes, but then you'd have a wannabe utopia and one of the first things they'd do is institute prison reform, meaning that you'd no long have the "most tortuous prison in all Golarion." The prize for that would then pass to Katapesh or somewhere where they like keeping official torturers on staff and they raise it to a high art, but even then the question comes as to whether it's "the most tortuous prison in Golarion" due to have the most qualified torturer practicing his art in service of some caliph or wazir or whether the "most tortuous" tag comes from some base standard of disservice for all the prisoners, not just those singled out for special attention.
naah
the dungeon would still be there.
and Taldor would only be able to keep it until the next wannabe dictator come by and takes over taking Galt away from Taldor......
sides prince nut job III's daughter might not be any better than him anyway
Then rearrange as you like. It's your personal game.

Personally, I love Galt, since I think it combines well with Taldor for swashbuckling fantasy.
Have you heard of the Death of a Thousand Cuts? I actually read a book on it...

I still find it to be statistically unlikely that Avistan, of all places, has the most torturous prison in the WORLD, especially since there are places elsewhere run by Drow, Derro, Aboleth, or worse. We don't even KNOW anything about southern Garund, eastern Casmaron, Tian-Xia, or Sarusan.
Plus, I doubt the mooks in Galt's little supermax are being constantly devoured by chitinous horrors spawned by a god, like anyone/anything trapped in the Pit of Gormuz.
This quaint little demiplane that I call home. Please do come visit. Mind you, it's a matter of discussion if the whole 'prison' thing is from my perspective or the souls that I have scattered about to keep me company. >:)

Well, my opinion is quite different than the typical "Oh, the Drow city" or "Gotta be Nidal" stuff.
I would choose the most Good aligned community and put it within. Maybe Almas or Kyonin or something.
It just seems apropos that the "goodest" of communities would have the "evilest" of torturers (in its prison).

The Pit of Gormuz is a nasty place to be, but a monster-infested sinkhole without guards actively kicking people back in isn't so much a prison as a place of exile and a trial by ordeal. Since it has two convenient exits into two different layers of the Darklands as well as the open-air exit, it basically sounds like living on the set of Tremors--dangerous, nerve-wracking, a bad place, but not a place of imprisonment (for anyone but Rovagug) or torture for that matter (except for Rovagug, as I'm pretty certain Asmodeus would have included torture devices as part of the deal).
Basically that means deluxe imprisonment and torture for one prisoner and none for anyone else, which means that we're talking the quality versus quantity question again.
And if magical god-holding prisons count as places of imprisonment and torture, the Final Blades of Galt should definitely be on the list, as they're the ultimate prison. Whether they're torture is another matter, depending on whether the souls inside are frozen in timeless oblivion or jammed together in a chaotic mass holding cell horrifically aware of every moment that passes and the screams of the trapped around them.
I'm not sure where on Golarion it is, but I can tell you how to find out. All we need to do is go find Riddick and drop him on the planet. He will inevitably and unerringly find the worst and most inhospitable places to be found on Golarion.

Yea of little faith!
Might be a great fit. And you know where there's more if you want it. :)

Lots of Faith, just to low in opinions of the WIKIs as some of them are too messed up and stuff....
