Was Pawiak prison in Warsaw originally for political or general prisoners?

score:5

I've just received a confirmation from Warsaw, that as it's written in the book "Encyklopedia Warszawy" (PWN, 1994), by that time, until January Uprising, it was just a marshal prison for criminals, which was transferred there from Baszta Mostowa (Bridge Tower). The linked source says it used to be "Więzienie Inkwizycyjne", which means prisoners temporary arrested for interrogation. Pawiak was only for males, while Serbia prison next to Pawiak, served for women.

In the book "Rządy księcia Paskiewicza w Królestwie Polskiem <1832-1847>", (written by Ks. Szczerbatow in 1900), which covers a.o. law and prison problematic, the only place mentioned in connection with political prisoners is Warsaw Citadel. You can find its full text here, when they turn on the server once again.
