Miranda is arrested again in July 1793, when he is incarcerated in La Force prison, effectively one of the antechambers of death during the prevailing Reign of Terror.

Appearing again before the tribunal, and mustering all his soldierly courage, he accuses the Committee of Public Safety of tyranny, in disregarding his previous acquittal.

Miranda seems to have survived by a combination of good luck and political expediency: the revolutionary government simply cannot agree what to do with him.

He remains in La Force.
