(A note about the above picture: what you see are the scratch marks from the teeth and nails of slaves held in the Condemned Room. The room was no bigger than 15 x 25 feet, with just a tiny window for ventilation. Slaves who disobeyed the English were put in this room, given no water, no food, just left to die. This was their only chance to escape. None made it.)
