But on further reflection I suppose it says something positive about our culture that the term "dungeon" has lost it's association with "torture chamber".

That association is comparatively recent anyway, probably Victorian or later.

The meaning of 'underground cell' is apparently from the 14th century: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=dungeon
