Colin shushes him gently, feeling immediately guilty. Benedict's comfort is more important than Colin's curiosity.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." It's difficult, but he tries to gather Benedict closer. He doesn't think anyone would let him into the cell on a temporary basis. So Benedict was sent here and told not to return, and he went to the Division Heads to confess to them, and they decided to execute him. The only thing that could have prevented any of this was if Benedict hadn't left at all, and that's not helpful now.
And why did he return to Tevinter, if he was returning to people who would throw him out so readily? Colin spent long enough in the Circle to have a guess, but he won't pry. Whatever it was, they broke Benedict so badly he's tearing his hair and sobbing in Colin's arms.
