Most spells require a verbal and somatic components so  binding and gagging usually works.  Also if the characters get captured in a major city or a place where spell casters are prevalent,  they would probably have some special cells that can prevent casters from escaping.  I don't think limiting players and their strategies a good idea because then they will think you are picking on them and the game becomes not fun.  Remember, the players are the heroes, it's not your job as a DM to kill them, but to make it the best story possible.  Sent from my SM-T813 using Tapatalk</blockquote>
