* Overcrowding: Jails were often overcrowded, with prisoners often sleeping in shifts or in hallways.
* Lack of sanitation: Jails were often dirty and unsanitary, and prisoners were often exposed to disease and infection.
* Physical abuse: Prisoners were often subjected to physical abuse by jailers and other prisoners.
* Neglect: Prisoners were often neglected, and their basic needs, such as food and water, were not always met.
Jails in 1692 were often a dangerous and unhealthy place to be, and they were often seen as a punishment in themselves.
