stoves

The stoves in each of the cells had the function of allowing the prisoners to cook their own food, as the jail was designed to have no doors.

The prisoners who relied on donations from residents and charitable houses used the wood-burning stove to prepare their meals and keep warm in the cold.

Food was scarce, and the Chamber only provided meals on festive occasions.

When this happened, the chamberlains would put the food in carts and parade through the city with musical bands, accompanied by authorities, showcasing their good deeds.

Five stoves were built in the  Mariana City Council and Jai. Three in the jail, with a stone structure, and two in the city council, with a wooden structure.
