Yes, Christopher Columbus took prisoners with him on his voyages. During his first expedition in 1492, he captured several indigenous people from the Caribbean islands, including the Taíno, to bring back to Spain for display and to demonstrate the potential for conversion to Christianity. This practice was part of broader patterns of exploitation and colonization that characterized European interactions with indigenous populations during this period.
