This post from September 2000 also mentions the penkeeper spawning around the fire visible from inside the double cell doors.
Quote:
The goblin penmaster which spawns in front of the jail (around the fire there) and who has a placeholder which is one of two spiders (neither dropped anything that I recall, other than spider silk) drops two items that unlock the outer and inner door to the jail. These items do not look like keys, and it took us quite awhile to figure out what they were for.
The penmaster spawn is targetable from inside the jail, although he can only be pulled with a spell (arrows have a tough time getting through the grating.) So falling in without a key isn't necessarily a have-to-gate-or-pick-lock situation.

that is more inline with what I remember. It's also worth noting that none of those doors are locked on p99
