In Shakespear's England, many different tortures were used against those who commited crimes. Some included: The Rack, Manacles. The Iron Maiden, and The Iron Maiden. Any crime committed during these times would result in one of those punishments.
The Rack had a rectanglular frame with rollers at either one end or the other. The victim's arms and legs would be tied to these ends. Pressure would then be applied, eventually tearing the arms and legs out of their sockets. Manacles are bascially handcuffs. The victim would be hanged by the handcuffs, causing severe pain to the wrists. The Iron Maiden is a basically a casket with spikes inside of it.
Capital Punishment has many people shooting different opinions about when it should or shouldn't be used. Myself, I believe in the death penalty. I believe in "an eye for an eye." Whatever crime committed is how the person should be treated. Just like they did back then.
