“Death would be less permanent than what I have in mind for you!”

When you cast imprisonment and touch a creature, it is entombed in a state of suspended animation (see the Temporal Stasis spell) in a small sphere far beneath the surface of the earth. The subject remains there unless a Freedom spell is cast at the locale where the imprisonment took place. Magical search by a crystal ball, a Locate or Scrying spell, or some other similar divination does not reveal the fact that a creature is imprisoned or its location, but Absolute Revelation does.

A Wish or Miracle spell will not free the recipient, but will reveal where it is entombed. If you know the target’s name and some facts about its life, the target takes a -4 penalty on its save.
