How long was Dreyfus in that Prison?


I thought it was only for a few years, but He had aged considerably, which made it look like He was in for decades.

According to Wikipedia,"On 17 January 1895, he was transferred to the prison on Île de Ré..." and "he was released on 21 September 1899." So just under five years.
