January Uprising as 1 of the longest Polish uprisings active many human lives Although it was not as bloody as the Warsaw Uprising, due to the fact that people died for customized not in the fights themselves, but due to repression.
After his arrest, he was arrested. In Warsaw, either Pawiak or Citadel. In the following months, I will describe the thought and construction of the Citadel, now I will focus on the life of “everyday” detainees.
The detention in the Czarski era was not the place where they were sent to 48 hours, but they were able to hold the prisoner from six to 4 years. In many cases, investigations ended in exile in Siberia, little frequently in death. Although on the slopes of the Citadel threatened gallows, they were not as frequently utilized as in PPR times.
Both women and men were targeted at the common goal. True, the targets were not co-educational. Women were a small better than that. Showers could take erstwhile all 3 or 4 weeks while men waited 5 or 6 weeks for a shower, the Tsar soldiers explained it with physiology. Women besides could not be beaten during interrogations, and women were frequently allowed to sit in interrogations.
Back to our common goal. The day on the citadel began at 6:30, erstwhile water jugs were brought to the target. This water was poured into a bowl that was equipped with each cell and was utilized to wash and push over underwear.
The next point of the day was breakfast, consisting of a customized of acidified cabbage and sausage. any of the inmates sometimes wrote in memoirs that they eat better behind bars than at home.
After breakfast, there was time for auditions, which I will describe separately in the following month, or who just had not been able to go for a walk. Meanwhile, prison guards had to clean the cells. all day, potty was poured. erstwhile a week, the level was washed.
The dinner for which meat potatoes were served was the exception here, erstwhile fish were served. A part of citrus was sometimes added to the dinner for oral hygiene.
After dinner, the remainder of the time for interrogations, and the prisoners left behind with spoons, dug tunnels in the walls so they could talk between the targets. But there were “terrible” consequences, erstwhile a week there was a search of the goal, and then the warden checked the quality of the spoons, if any were sharpened, then the prisoner was taken distant from the spoon and given a fresh one. Inmates bored in the cell besides began to hit each another with metallic plates, thus creating cat music.
They could besides usage the library, but the books in it were written in Russian, so it is not amazing that most of them were incomplete due to the fact that the prisoners utilized paper obtained from books as toilet paper.
Dinner that looked like breakfast. Nighttime silence was between 9:00 and 6:00, but not for inmates. The Citadel became a loud whisper after dark.
