“seique val máis estar dez anos nun bo presidio que dez días nesa cadea de Pontevedra, nese edificio triste, feo, cheirento, apestado, oscuro, inmundo que máis ben pode chamarse cortello ou tobo para feras que non casa para ter os homes”

I know that it is better to expend 10 years in a good colonial fort than ten days in that jail of Pontevedra, that sad, ugly, smelly, plagued, dark, filthy building, that could better be called a pigsty or a den for beasts than a house for men
