Torture: The Cage
 

1.
The cage is a means of deterrment as much as torture. By leaving the victim’s festering, wretched body, and before too long--
corpse, on display for the public to see, they will know the fate of those who do wrong. After the victim’s body has been tortured,
it will be hung, naked, for all to see in the public square. If it is winter, the cold snow and rain will perhaps induce fever, or if they
are fortunate, hypothermia. In the summer, their flesh will be blistered from your unprotected body by the sun. In either case,
lack of food and water will only enhance their body's weakened state, making them more vulnerable to diseases which seek to
infect their wounds.
When they are at last dead, the birds of the sky will pick the rotted flesh from their bones. Bones which will hang for some time to
come to remind all of their sins A zealous observer might notice the short chain and neck shackle which force the victim to
remain standing, lest they be suffocated. Though inevitably, their limbs will tire from exhaustion and lack of food and water, or
they will no longer be able to remain awake. This is when their sin tainted body will at last give up its soul.

These tall iron cages were set up outside near a main crossroad, usually several in a row. This was very popular in Europe,
before the end of the eighteenth century.
The naked or nearly naked victims were locked into the cages and hung up. They usually died of hunger and thirst, or in the
winter by storm and cold, and in summer by heatstroke and sunburn; often they had been tortured and mutilated. The deceased
bodies were generally left in place until the bones fell apart.

A large metal cage hung from a high distance. The cage pictured above is designed for the person to stand up until he was dead.
After he was put in a noose was tied around his neck so in the case he wanted to sit, he would strangle himself. Eventually his
mustles would give way and he would stangle to death, leaving his carcus to be picked apart by crows.
