Summary: "Spanish Prisons" by Major Arthur Griffiths is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the grim history of the Spanish Inquisition, its impact on prisons, and the state of punitive measures throughout Spain. The text addresses the excessive cruelty of the Inquisition, the persecution of Jews and Moors, and how this shaped the penal system in Spain, leading to inhumane conditions in prisons. The opening of "Spanish Prisons" sets a chilling tone as it discusses the foundations of the Spanish Inquisition, initiated under Ferdinand and Isabella in 1478. Griffiths provides a historical context, illustrating the oppressive atmosphere that allowed for widespread persecution, particularly against Jews who faced expulsion and violence. He introduces key figures like Thomas de Torquemada, who spearheaded the Inquisition and perpetuated a culture of fear and intolerance. The narrative establishes a tone of distress as it describes the severe punishments and torturous methods used to suppress dissenting beliefs, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of the torment faced by those ensnared by this dark moment in history.
