In 1234 a Council of Albi decreed that the holders of confiscated
property of heretics should make provision for the imprisonment and
maintenance of its former owners.
Footnote 393:
For instance, in A.D. 1300 we find certain prisoners at Albi condemned
“Ad perpetuum carcerem stricti muri ubi panis doloris in cibum et aqua
tribulationis in potum, in vinculis et cathenis ferreis solummodo
ministrentur.”—Molinier, p. 94, quoting Doat, tom. xxxv.
Footnote 394:
“We do with special injunction ordain that every bishop have one or
two prisons in his bishopric; he is to take care of the sufficient
largeness and security thereof for the safe keeping of clerks
according to canonical customs that are flagitious, that is, caught in
a crime or convicted thereof. And if any clerk be so incorrigibly
wicked that he must have suffered capital punishment if he had been a
layman, we adjure such an one to perpetual imprisonment....”—J.

A.D. 1261.
