Also, many of these poor prisoners were simply burned to death and as I told one other poster went on a "march" to be put on ships and sunk, but the poor prisoners were so weakened by hunger most died on the march to the ships and those that didn't were shot. Other prisons died from hunger and disease. Marcy
