Create a description of a spooky scene inside of a medieval jail with a pump system, sump, and cast-iron lever.

Tucked between two of the cells, and well out of reach, is a copper-chained pump system mounted into a bucket-like sump in the floor. A long, cast-iron lever stands motionless despite the sound of gurgling water that occasionally sloshes up out of the sump to wet the pitch-slathered deck. A slight warping in the wooden planks and watermarks on the oaken bulkheads bear testament to the ravages of water within the area at some point in the past.
