I raided a camp and got a Prison Key, where do I use it?

Thant's my question I looked around but couldn't find anyplace that would activate with it.

"Coming in the 2.3 update is the new rescue system. If you encounter a Jailer NPC, you can kill that Jailer and take a key from their corpse. When you open a nearby cage containing a Thrall, an Exile Thrall will come out and join your clan."

perhaps the cage in the camp was empty? look around

The nearby cage was empty, so I got to keep the key, it's in my inventory.
Does that mean that if I can find a camp with an occupied cage I can use my key on it without fighting the local jailer if he is busy with my Thrall?

I think you can do this i have 11 keys and most times there are 0 prisoners so I keep em and use em when they spawn

Ok, that's what I found, it took some looking but I did eventually find a cage with someone in it, by then I had 3 keys. The real problem was getting the thrall home.

I had a Pet with me, and had to keep picking one or the other up and moving it while the other followed me. That meant I kept getting the You have to set your thrall on a walk-able floor or something like that.

I finally found the best way was just to keep changing which one was following and then tell them to stop and go back and get the other one and bring it up.

It was a pain and time consuming while having to fight things that attacked me on the way.

Ok, I've got two thralls so far but it's still a pain getting them home.

It is easy to get them home. Just go home with the follower you came with. Then rescue the thrall from the cage. Rescue looses any equipment they spawned with, but they won't come with anything decent.
