CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Inquisition |
 | | It was known as immuration (from the Latin murus, a wall), or incarceration, and was inflicted for a definite time or for life. |
 | | Immuration for life was the lot of those who had failed to profit by the aforesaid term of grace, or had perhaps recanted only from fear of death, or had once before abjured heresy. |
 | | They were to be kept in custody; "in a place where one grew wise" (sophronisterion), as the place of incarceration was euphemistically called; they should be relegated thither for five years, and during this time listen to religious instruction every day. |
