Upon arriving in Virginia, Burns was put in a jail. The room he was placed in was only six or eight square feet, accessible only through a trap door. There was no bed or chair, only a small bench fastened to the wall. His hands were in handcuffs and fetters were on his feet. He was prohibited to communicate with other prisoners. He lived in these conditions for four months before Suttle finally decided to sell him (Stevens 187-94)
