The Gate Prison can be found by checking the World map and looking southwest from the Metal Factory, close to the Iron Gate that leads outside the main city.

While you could get into the Damascus Gate Prison by fighting your way inside, you can also ask for help from the Merchant or Rebel groups found nearby.

A Power Token that normally resets your notoriety will be needed to grant this favor from the rebel group.
No matter how you decide to infiltrate the Damascus Gate Prison in , you will still have to sneak past or eliminate several guards to find and rescue Ali ibn Muhammad.
