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.

Why did Columbus use prisoners as part of his crew?

Columbus used prisoners as part of his crew primarily to fill the ranks of his ships, as he faced difficulties in recruiting enough willing sailors for his voyages. Many of these prisoners were offered a chance for a new life and the possibility of freedom in exchange for their service. Additionally, using prisoners could be seen as a way to utilize available resources, especially given the high risks and uncertainties of exploration at that time.
