OSMANLI DEVLETI'NDE SÜRGÜN VE KALEBEND CEZALARI: MAGOSA KALESI ÖRNEĞI (18. YÜZYIL).

In the Ottoman Empire, there were different practices for those who acted to disrupt the social order. Among these practices, exile and fortress confinement punish" ments had an important place. While people were sent away from the place where they were found with the penalty of exile, the penalty of fortress confinement required the person to be imprisoned in the castle. The main purpose of both punishment methods was to rehabilitate the perpetrators and to ensure social order. The Ottoman Empire, especially since the second half of the 17th century, designated some islands in the Aegean and Mediterranean as places of exile and fortress confinement. Famagusta Castle on Cyprus Island was one of them. Due to the forcefiilness of the walls of the Famagusta Castle, during the 18th century, the castle became a punishment place where those who committed many crimes such as especially state officials, murder, theft, banditry, persecution, opposition to census, raid the court, etc. The main sources of the study are the Kalebend and Muhimme Registers and other archKe records of the period.
