Inquisition secrecy still failed to keep Moriscos ignorant of jail conditions

Evidence

Secrecy was an essential feature of all the proceedings of the Inquisition—utter secrecy until it was judged that the moment had come to make everything public in that apogee of planned publicity, the auto de fe. … But in spite of all the Inquisition’s preoccupation with security, the Moriscos did usually know very well what was going on inside the jails. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 984
