1. Prisons were not used as a punishment but for prisoners who were awaiting a trial. 
2. Imprisonment was used to punish debtors, forgers and people who had falsely accused someone at trial. 
3. Gaols (prisons) were rough, unhealthy places. Prisoners had to supply all their own bedding, food and drink from the gaoler. 
4. Poor prisoners often sat begging outside the prison. This was the only way of being able to pay their gaoler. 
5. Richer prisoners might be kept in comfortable rooms in castles as they could afford this. ]]> 2017-12-06 17:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/davide_baldanzi/x1wnq0bdsspy/wish/213805679 Fines https://padlet.com/davide_baldanzi/x1wnq0bdsspy/wish/213807186 1.

Being burned alive on a bonfire. this was a punishment for:
Petty treason - such as a wife killing a husband or a servant killing a master.
Heresy - such as the beliefs of the Lollards (people who translated the Bible into vernacular English). The church tried to avoid executing people    so the king ordered the church to send all the convicted Lollards to the sheriff who had them burned.
2. local variations on hanging - how the locals influenced hanging.
- Being thrown from the cliffs at Dover.
- Being buried alive at sandwich.
- Being tied to a rock in the sea in the Scilly Isles -  all they were given was brad and water and as the tide came in they would drown.
