The Williamsburg jail, spelled gaol in colonial times, was a brick building, just behind the Capitol, that housed the prisoners, who were on trial, as well as the jailer and his family. The debtor’s quarters were much bptter than the cells for criminals. The debtor had a mattress to sleep on, a desk, a chair, and a lamp. The criminal prisoners had only hay. The women inmates livved above the house while the male inmates lived in cells beside the house. Outside the brick walls were the stocks which we tried on for size.
