Companions usually break out pretty fast if they are captured. On the other hand, if they break out then warp to a friendly city, and then that city becomes an enemy, it's extremely difficult to get them back until there is peace (usually waiting months), I capture the city (not easy) or unless I can break into the city, which is a 1 in 10 chance for me and capture means disbanding (though I haven't tried sneaking maybe it's not as bad as in warband).
I think companions should move to the next friendly city if war is declared on the city they are in, or at least be locked in the dungeon so they have a chance to escape, lol. It might be reasonable for them to be stuck so long if other lords and companions couldn't break out of dungeons so easily, but right now it makes no sense. If anything it should be easier for them to leave the city if they are not in the dungeon.
