If they are rich they can be treated fairly well...
they arn't treated very well at all
Very well
They treated them very well
They were held as prisoners of war. What that entailed depended upon the "enemy" who caught them. In Britain we often made prisoners of war work, but on the whole we treated them fairly well. In Japan many prisoners were treated extremely badly and were frequently tortured.
Yes, State PRISON systems house mostly convicted felony offenders. County JAIL houses mostly convicted misdemeanor prisoners, as well as those awaiting trials. Most people use the terms 'jail' and 'prison' interchangeably (to mean the same thing) but in fact they are quite different.
The Public treated them like heroes and they were well paid, assuming they weren't prisoners of war.
Britain treated prisoners generally very well, but not during the moment of surrender. Soldiers trying to surrender in WWI were treated poorly by every combatant country, will high percentages being killed. Soldiers were generally safer surrendering in large groups.
If you are speaking of a county jail, you can call the jail administration and ask. If they have the person in custody they will tell you. The same goes for prisoners confined to state prison. Call the number listed for the Department of Corrections listed under the blue pages of your phone book and ask for the locater office." They, also, will be able to tell you if they have the individual in custody.
While she was in jail, she recieved the usual bad treatment. And before she was arrested, well, Parris was not reported to be a nice man.
The Romans did not use sentences much. Prisons were mainly for those awaiting trial or those awaiting execution. In antiquity military prisoners were treated well and given back in exchange for a ransom. Civilian captives were sold as slaves.
From all I have read, which is extensive, it depends who you are and who you were fighting. US prisoners were relatively well treated as were Germans taken by the US. Exceptions were the German massacre of US prisoners in Malmady, battle of the bulge in 1944-45. The massacre of the Polish officers @ The Katyn Forest in 1940 by the Soviets, long blamed on the Nazis. Prisoners taken by Nazis on the Russian front were treated horribly if they were taken as were German prisoners captured by the Russians. About 5,000 Germans came back to Germany at war's end out of 500,000 taken Japanese were brutal in their treatment of all allied prisoners. Battaan's death march etc. War's do not bring out the best in men!
