Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes sur le Syst�me P�nal des Villes Flamandes du Xve au Xviie Si�cle
La prison servait 1� � enfermer les pr�venus et accu s�s, plac�s sous la main de la justice, en attendant leur jugement; 2� aux d�tenus pour dettes; 3� aux prisonniers de guerre, en attendant le paiement de leur ran�on. Seuls, et rarement les petits d�lits pour lesquels au cune peine n'�tait prevue, se punissaient d'une mise au pain et � l'eau plus ou moins prolong�e � la prison.
