The film will showcase a day in the life of a cell during the early
18th Century. During this period up to one hundred people were
incarcerated in a cell. Fed once every four days, with no sanitation.
Everybody was incarcerated together: both sexes,
those awaiting trial, convicted murderers, rapists, the insane, children
and even new born babies.
