Literature

Little Ease The name of a prison cell too small to allow the prisoner to stand upright, or to lie down, or to assume any other position of ease. I have seen such a cell at St. Cyr; and according to Curiosity, or, The General Library, p. 69 (1738), cells of this kind were used "at Guildhall for unruly apprentices." Source: Brewer's Dictionary.

Slang in 1811

LITTLE EASE. A small dark cell in Guildhall, London, where disorderly apprentices are confined by the city chamberlain: it is called Little Ease from its being so low that a lad cannot stand upright in it. Source: 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue.
