Not very good. They weren't clean often and were very poorly lit. Cells were either very large for multiple people or very small. The food was... well remember what the pilgrims ate on the way to America? In prison it was three times as bad. Prisoners were not allowed anytime outside to walk around or given access to even the quackiest medical care of the age.

In 1692, jails were typically overcrowded and unsanitary. Inmates often lacked basic necessities such as adequate food, clothing, and bedding. Conditions were harsh, with little regard for the well-being or rehabilitation of prisoners. Torture and abuse were common practices, and disease spread quickly in these cramped and unhealthy environments.
