Loki isn't in prison but he didn't taken Odin's place. It all goes back to my Steve/Bucky Avengers story Lazarus. That story isn't Thor 2 compliant in the fact Loki didn't assume Odin's place and that Frigga didn't die. I made that choice because of an idea I wanted to do but needed Frigga to be alive and that meant that Loki didn't die and Odin is still Odin. I plan on addressing that point soon in Lazarus. So right now, you can think of Loki being on strict house arrest with a fancy Asgardian monitoring ankle tracker but is still able to slip away for a short moments of time.
