The model shows some of the graffiti preserved in the prison of the town of Picón (Ciudad Real, Spain). The jail of Picón had two cells located on the ground floor of the City Hall. Its construction dates from the sixteenth century and is one of the few examples that are preserved in La Mancha. On its walls the prisoners recorded numerous graffiti among which we can see deer, crosses, buildings, hearts … It was in use until the nineteenth century, at which time the Spanish judicial and prison system changed.
