PLATE XVIII.

CLOSE CONFINEMENT.

THIS criminal is fastened, at full length, upon a sort of bedstead, a chump of wood serving for a pillow. His hands and his feet are loaded with iron manacles and fetters; his neck is chained to a post, and fastened by two padlocks.

This Plate appears to represent a section of the cage described in Plate XV.
