Reply To: Halachic Penalty for Attempted Murder

They must have had prisons. In the case where Beis Din starved someone to death, for certain crimes that were lacking in the strict judicial proof required, they did so by locking him up.

Perhaps, but that’s a very short-term situation. Your previous post made it sound like they kept people there for years on end (until they felt it was safe…).

Or is that what they used for attempted murderers?
