Answer:

General Toussaint L'Ouverture did not die in a prison.

Step-by-step explanation:

General Toussaint L'Ouverture did not die in a prison. He was actually captured by the French in 1802 and was sent to France where he was imprisoned and ultimately died in a prison in the Jura Mountains in April 1803, due to the harsh conditions of his confinement. Toussaint L'Ouverture led the Haitian Revolution against the French colonial powers and played a vital role in establishing Haiti as the first independent black nation in the world.
