this would have been a room with a barred window under the stairs leading from the cloister to the dormitory. The annals of the monastery at Durham, England, reveal the following entry: "Within the infirmary underneath the master of the infirmary's chamber, was the strong prison called the 'Lying House' which was ordained for such as were great offenders." One history of the Benedictines notes the following: "If one were to visit one of the larger and older English monasteries ... the first building encountered would probably be a rectangular gatehouse set in the boundary wall and having a wide passage leading from the world outside into the monastic precinct ... he gatehouse sometimes had a prisoner's cell." In certain instances, particularly if the monastery was large, an entire prison would be erected for its captives. St. John Climacus (579-649) describes what may have been one of the first prisons of this type at his monastery in Egypt: "At a distance of a mile from the great monastery was a place deprived of every comfort ... Here the pastor shut up, without permission to go out, those who fell into sin after entering the brotherhood; and not all together, but each in a separate and special cell ... And he kept them there until the Lord gave him assurance of the amendment of each one." The monastery at Iona in Ireland had a dwelling for its wayward brothers, as did the Carthusian abbey at Mount Grace, the latter a two-story house with a covered walk along one wall and a garden.

4514:, according to the story of Peter the Venerable, who informs us that this superior, a good man otherwise, but extremely severe against those who committed some error, caused the construction of a subterranean cave in the form of a grave where he placed, for the rest of his days, a miserable wretch who seemed incorrigible to him. other superiors, less charitable than zealous, did not fail to use it with respect to guilty monks, and this harshness, inhuman as it appears, went so far and became so common that it caused Etienne, Archbishop of Toulouse, to lodge a complaint, through his grand vicar, with King John. The king was horrified by this inhumanity. Touched by compassion for these wretches, he ordered priors and superiors to visit them twice a month and to give, in addition, their permission to two monks of their choice to visit them twice a month This we learn from the Registers of the Parliament of Languedoc in the year 1350. 4371:

the stern penal order with a pastoral injunction that intuits much of what we have discussed with regard to the sacral dimension of both confinement and the confined: "The abbot should focus all his attention on the care of the wayward brother, for it is not the healthy but the sick who need a physician. Thus he should use all the means that a wise physician would." Benedict also recommends that respected "elderly brothers who know how to comfort the wavering brother" be sent to "console him so that he be not devoured by too much sorrow." He further adds a quote from St. Paul: "et love for him be reaffirmed and let everyone pray for him." Finally, Benedict charges the abbot to imitate Christ, the good shepherd, who "left the ninety nine sheep ... looking for the one who had strayed ... placed it on his sacred shoulders and carried it back to the flock."

their errors. Such people were rarely genuine converts to orthodoxy. Therefore they should be imprisoned, for life if necessary, to prevent them from infecting others. For the same reason visitors should be restricted. Prisoners should not be allowed visits either by women, who are 'weak, and easily perverted,' or by simple individuals. Only Catholic men, zealous for the faith and beyond all suspicion of heresy, should have access to them. Eymerich's Languedocian predecessors may have shared his suspicions about the genuineness of their prisoners' conversion. Yet they seem to have done little to restrict visiting privileges. Spouses had the right to visit their mates. Even visitors who the jailers should have known were suspicious characters had little trouble gaining access to the murs.

be held, preferably in isolation, while awaiting the proper forms of interrogation, and that those who under interrogation did not at once confess and perform penance would be held until they did. The patient interrogation over several months of captured Cathar perfecti demanded lengthy imprisonment; Pierre Autier, the last of the great Cathar missionaries, was kept for a whole year before being burned in April 1310, so that as much as possible could be established about the beliefs he had been propagating and the various people who had assisted him. Lesser men, once confessed, recanted and restored to communion with the church, were not freed from jail until they had implicated others with whom they had allegedly shared their heretical views.

3077:), came an increasing need for ecclesiastical prisons to hold suspects during a potentially lengthy investigation. Instead of being incarcerated merely for a brief period of time between arrest and trial, the captives of the Inquisition were routinely held until they confessed to the satisfaction of their interrogators and implicated others; in some cases this process took years, sometimes spent in solitary confinement. Imprisonment served as an interrogation technique in itself, sometimes in place of torture; if simple imprisonment (and the expense of being required to pay for it) was insufficient to extract a confession, interrogators had the option of subjecting the prisoner to solitary confinement, inadequate food, 2971: 4736:

weapons must be incarcerated for thirty days on a diet of bread and water. In the Gelasian Sacramentary (early eighth century), there is a prescription that penitents are to be confined during Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday, and kept in custody until Holy Thursday. An eighth-century collection of canons written by the Archbishop of York contains a warning that those who question the church's authority to both baptize and forgive sins shall 'feel the pain of excommunication, or long bear the confinement of a gaol.'

1310 eight men escaped. 22 April 1310 was a particularly bad month. On the 19th Guillaume Falqueti escaped; five days later, on the 24th, there was a mass breakout, when five prisoners made off. After this escape, security was evidently improved. Nevertheless, one other person, Pierre Gilbert the elder of Ferrus, escaped-not from the mur itself but from the looser form of detention at the prison's gatehouse. Bernard Cui's register contains the story of a man who escaped from the inquisitors not once, but twice.

the Salamanca jail, they were kept chained to a post in the middle of the building. Four ecclesiastical judges examined Ignatius's copy of the Spiritual Exercises and questioned him on a variety of theological issues. The only fault they found was his inadequate preparation, as they thought, to treat the difference between venial and mortal sin. Having warned him to speak of the matter no more until he had studied theology for four more years, they released him from jail after twenty-two days.

2808:(confinement in a monastery), which could consist either of simply living in a monastery or of being incarcerated in a monastic prison. Secular European rulers of the fifth through eleventh centuries, who generally lacked facilities of their own for keeping prisoners, also made use of monastic prisons. These secular prisoners in monastic prisons were sometimes criminals, but often they were simply political adversaries, such as in the cases of 3653:, stated that delinquent monks and nuns should be separated from their fellows and confined in an ergastulum, a disciplinary cell within the monastery in which forced labor took place, thus moving the old Roman punitive domestic work cell for slaves and household dependents into the institutional setting of the monastery.

Nor can they lie down except on the frigid ground. They have endured torments like these day and night for a long time. In other miserable places in the prison, not only is there no light or air, but food is rarely distributed, and that only bread and water.

constantly heard an immense wailing, weeping, groaning, and gnashing of teeth. What more can one say? For these prisoners life is a torment and death a comfort. And thus coerced they say that what is false is true, choosing to die once rather than to endure more torture. As a result of these false and coerced confessions not only do those making the confessions perish, but so do the innocent people named by them.

They are often given sermons and exhortations in common, or individually in the case of those kept in deep dungeons. But the prisoners of some monastic orders have none of that. Few or no visits or consolations, rarely a mass, never an exhortation; in other words, a perpetual solitude and seclusion without promenades in the open, without movement, without amelioration, briefly, without consolation.

3282: 2593: 3051:. Young offenders could be sentenced to San Michele by the courts, and parents or guardians could voluntarily send recalcitrant boys to the prison. Although the young inmates often endured conditions such as corporal punishment and being chained to their desks, San Michele was considered by contemporaries to be a model of an enlightened penal system. 5397:, which was one of the first buildings to be added to the original complex, was designed to accommodate two categories of young boys: juvenile offenders who were sent by Roman courts or during hearings or because they were sentenced to the galleys; and disobedient boys who were put away at the request of their father or guardian. 2836:. Ecclesiastical reforms in the late eleventh century largely suppressed the practice of confining political opponents to monasteries, but secular authorities continued to make use of monastic prisons; in the case of female prisoners, confining them to a convent rather than a secular prison could be a means of avoiding rape. 6141:

In those cases where decisive proof was lacking and the suspicions entertained as to the defendant's conduct were not 'vehement,' the suspect was to be released upon providing suitable sureties until such time as new, more convincing evidence was found against him.

With the widespread employment of imprisonment as a disciplinary and reformative technique, individual prison cells were created in monasteries for this specific purpose. A directive in 1229 to the Cistercian monasteries in France ordered the placement of a "solid and secure prison" in each; normally

When the inquisitors imposed a penance entailing the confiscation of property, that property passed into the hands of the condemned person's lord. In turn, the lords were expected to use the revenues from these confiscations to defray the inquisitors' expenses. Even the prisons used by the Dominican

Because the chief aim of inquisitors was to extort confessions from those suspected of heresy, a necessary preliminary to reconciling them (where possible) with the community of the faithful, they took it for granted that arrested suspects against whom there was circumstantial evidence would need to

Rulings, such as the one enacted at the Council of Rheims (1157) that those young women swayed by the influence of a heretical Manichaean group were to be put to the ordeal of the hot iron and, if found guilty, branded on the forehead and cheek and then banished, were by no means rare.

In the case of Jeanne, widow of B. de la Tour, a nun of Lespenasse, in 1246, who had committed acts of both Catharan and Waldensian heresy, and had prevaricated in her confession, the sentence was confinement in a separate cell in her own convent, where no one was to enter or see her, her food being

When in 1306 one of the cardinals charged by Pope Clement V to investigate the complaints of the people of Albi inspected the mur at Carcassonne, he discovered that many prisoners whose trials had not yet been completed were being kept shackled and housed in 'narrow and very dark prisons.' Some had

Perhaps the most famous ecclesiastical prison to be used by the Roman Catholic Church itself was the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. It was there that Clement XIV, under political pressure from the Bourbons and other enemies of the Society, ordered the incarceration of the general, Lorenzo Ricci, after

Mabillon writes that "a frightful kind of prison, where daylight never entered, was invented, and since it was designed for those who would finish their lives in it, it received the name Vade in pace ." A similar fate in a prison with the same title awaited a monk of St. Alban's who was "solitarily

Even after someone had fallen into the hands of the inquisitors, escape from custody does not seem to have been extraordinarily difficult. In the first decade of the fourteenth century, the custodians of the mur at Toulouse had considerable difficulty in maintaining effective security. In 1309 and

In many instances, notably the early Benedictine foundations, the monks slept in cubicles and so various types of rooms, often makeshift ones, were utilized for this specific purpose. We already saw in the case of Pachomius that the sullen and malicious gossip was to be locked up in the infirmary.

For the most part, suspects were apparently not kept under lock and key or isolated from one another. Instead, they were allowed to wander around, almost at pleasure, within the walls of the prison. Just as little was normally done to keep prisoners separate from one another, so was little effort

The decisive pronouncement, however, was issued in 1298 by Pope Boniface VIII within the 'Liber Sextus,' a document that was appended to the first code of canon law. The directive states: 'In regard to the detention of the guilty, prison should be primary understood not as punishment. At the same

The historian of the years 1000–1300 cannot afford so easily to pigeonhole prisons under the heading 'penal system'. This is not because imprisonment was never in that period imposed as a judicial punishment; as we shall see, it had always been used punitively at least occasionally; it became a
