]]> In the women’s prison in Saragossa, which housed inmates from that Kingdom and the Basque Provinces, abuses and punishments were carried out, according to Pedro María Ric, Mayor of Crime of the Court of Aragon. Pedro María was also Judge Protector of the Real Casa de la Galera in Zaragoza. In his attempt to improve the conditions of the prisoners, he proposed that the Archbishopric of Saragossa allocate 3,000 ducats for this purpose on a permanent basis, an objective that was approved by the Council of Castile.
