Description: This chapter is dedicated to discussing the justice and punishment systems of the Inca Empire. The author discusses five methods of punishment in detail, and this image represents the second punishment. This image depicts prisons that nobles were sent to in the Inca Empire. A uchayoc auqui [guilty prince] is illustrated squatting in front of the jail structure. The prince is depicted holding his cloak with his right hand and crying as he points with his left hand to a block of text that reads yuyaymi apauan uacaynu apauan caycan soncuyta nacaycosacmi haray haraui pinas uaci uatay uazi cachariuaytac [My thoughts take me, weeping takes me, this bad heart I will sacrifice it. Jail house let me out].
