Se trasluce entretanto el proyecto ... se suscitan persecuciones ... hay encierros a pan y agua en calabozos subterráneos, hay vapuleo no pocas veces ... y si desgraciadamente hubiera esto para nosotros, no sé yo luego cómo nos habíamos de casar. DOÑA MATILDE. ¡Oh! Eso es muy cierto ... dígalo si no Ofelia ... la del castillo negro.
Three large vaulted dungeons or calabozos occupied three sides of this court, immediately below the corridors of which I have already spoken. These dungeons were roomy enough to contain respectively from one hundred to one hundred and fifty prisoners, who were at night secured therein with lock and bar, but during the day were permitted to roam about the courts as they thought fit.
Besides the calabozos connected with the courts, were other dungeons in various parts of the prison; some of them quite dark, intended for the reception of those whom it might be deemed expedient to treat with peculiar severity. There was likewise a ward set apart for females.
