This is the only cell that is for single use and independent from the others, it was used for isolating or separating certain prisoners from the rest, due to special circumstances or for safety. It is accessed from the corridor that starts within the prison’s vestibule. It is the largest of all the cells, nearly a dozen prisoners could be held there.
The northern wall retains an ashlar with satirical drawings, featuring three human figures. They represent individuals of significant social status, since they are wearing long buttoned-up garments. They are in a sober stance, hands on hips. One is smoking a pipe, the others have their hair dressed up, the intention seems to be to depict them as people with cared-for and complex hairstyles.
The same wall also has an area with different time-keeping systems etched on. One of them is triangular in shape, and it has a threatening face on its top vertex. This same pane reads “DU LIEGE”, referencing the Belgian town of Liege, and another inscription references Felipe Gomez, resident of the nearby village Corporales.
This is the first of the other three adjoining cells, which were gated off.
The south wall displays a most singular graffiti, depicting a Christian liturgical element, specifically an Ostensorium, or Monstrance, in the centre of which are the letters IHS, referring to Jesus Christ. It is a symbol of the Eucharist, and was possibly painted as a sort of small altar, used for daily mass, by a priest that was held there.
This and the previous cell are the smallest in the whole prison. They were closed using wooden doors or gates, they also still have some of the rings built into the walls, or holes in the wall, where they have been removed.
Although the purpose of this room is clear, it may have served as a cell at some point. The latrine itself was located in the north-western corner, where a structure similar to a stone dais can be seen, and then there is a drainage hole going through the wall. A wooden element may have been placed on the raised stones to sit on.
This is the only cell with access to the courtyard. It is larger in size, because it was used to assemble the prisoners so they could go outside on a daily basis. Several names of inmates and dates are written on the side jambs of the door and the wall.
The last of the cells, connected to the previous cell and the mortuary, the original door is still in place. The ventilation hole high up on the East wall shows signs of an escape attempt: two of the bars have been tampered with.
