Best Answer

In the Middle Ages there were no prisons as we know them and the mentally ill were left to their own devices. Most because of behavior were generally considered to be witches and burned at the stake. The dungeon was the main form of imprisoning. The process of prisons began about 1250 to hold people for trial and the first were for debtors.
