During the Saxon period, prisons were often rudimentary and served primarily as holding places for those awaiting trial or punishment rather than long-term confinement. Conditions were typically harsh, with limited sanitation and overcrowding. Many prisoners were expected to rely on family or friends for food and basic care, as the state provided minimal support. Punishments were often physical and included fines, corporal punishment, or execution, rather than extended sentences.
