Well the problem is, during a hectic battle, your summons can get killed or imprisoned without you noticing exactly how it happened (especially when fighting liches).
How many people have used the summon commands more than once in a tough fight? It's difficult to keep track of all that cannon fodder while you're busy looking after *real* party members?
Using a freedom spell is good - but of course you have to:
a) have the spell (there arn't many scrolls around)
b) be on a sufficient level to use it (if you've already written it to your mage book)
c) Know *EXACTLY* where your 'creature' was imprisoned (the REALLY difficult bit)
This is just a solution to the problem.
Personally though, I don't consider this cheating as I really think that a summoned creature should become 'unsummoned' after 8 hours - whether imprisoned or not...
