How did medieval prisoners survive freezing winters inside stone cells built without warmth or mercy?
This documentary explores the harsh reality of medieval prisons—where cold was part of the punishment—and the fragile strategies prisoners used to endure winter: movement, shared body heat, scraps of insulation, and help from the outside world.
Through historical context and human detail, this video reveals how survival depended not on justice, but on resilience.
