 Greetings fellow overlords.
 For some mysterious reason, one of my dwarves has been caged, despite not appearing in the justice screen and that I only have ropes assigned for justice. Could anyone help me on this?

[Ze_king]

It could be possible that he fell into a cage trap, if you have any.
Dwarves only fall if they get knocked onto a trap IIRC.

SHOOOOOOTGUUUUUUNNNN~!

...

Oh, you're asking how he got there? Perhaps he took a nap near a cage trap, possibly assisted with some cave-in dust.

[AlexanderTheIncompetant]

 Possible, my fort is full of the things.
 Also, there were cave ins, but far away.
 Anyways, how do I free him?
 And is it a bug that he feels guilty, even though his confinement was not crime related?

[Larix]

Build the cage (b-j, e"x"pand view to find the "dwarf cage" if necessary). Once built, "q"uery the cage and "unassign" the contained dwarf. Someone should come around and release them.

[AlexanderTheIncompetant]

 Ok thanks.

He likely dodged or was otherwise launched in some manner into the cage trap, setting it off. I can't remember if the dwarf needs to be unconscious at that exact moment for the cage trap to go off or not but I think it may be so. I remember losing one of my greatest legendary fighters that way in an older version of the game. I found the poor bastard moments from starving to death in the cage. Sadly, it was too late to save him. The best I could puzzle together was he had been flung into the cage during sparring after colliding with a moving power distribution axle.
