Torture, Prison, The Mamluk Sultanate, Egypt (1258-1517 A.D.)Abstract
Prisons are built to achieve the state,s higher goal i.e doing justice among
members of the nation.This is carried out through imprisoning anyone who
violates the laws of the comunity. Prisons are usually classified according to
crime commited or according to the prisoner,s sex.Egypt experienced various
kinds of prisons some of which were allocated to the high-ranking statesmen,
while others used to receive criminals, in addition to women prisons.
The available data during the mamluks period points out that the prisoners
suffering was reflected in two ways.The first one was the bad health conditios
and bad management of prisons.The second one was that prisoners were
subject to various sorts of torturing such as beating, nailing, squeezing, bone
≠ breaking burning, etc. The mamluk state exceeded all ethical, religious,
and human laws which asked for keeping the human dignity, and thus it
practiced the most dictatorial policies towards prisoners.
