ORIGIN OF THE WORD PRISON

Roots from the Greco Roman word Presidio from

word Pre means before and Sidio means inside.

 The coined term presidio is synonymous to a Fence, Cave, and or
Dungeon. The word presidio started in the reign of King Hammurabi
of Babylon in 1729 BC.

Presidio became popular and was feared at the height of the

construction of big temples in the ancient Messopotamia called
Ziggurats, in contrast to the building of royal tombs in Egypt
known as Pyramids.
