Ulrich Felger, Corrupt Prison Guard

Ulrich Felger was a prison guard in Ellwangen. He participated in low-level corruption and mismanagement. He illegally divulged trial details and other secret information to other witch suspects and to the general public. He admitted to raping a number of female suspects in prison, and to committing extortion and blackmail.

After escaping custody, Felger was "extradited from Limpurg in 1614, and executed on November 6" (Midelfort 107-108).
