. Corporal punishment can consist of anything from being forced to sit in a corner, to being spanked, to being whipped or stretched on the rack.
The United States executes criminals all the time, and we've recently tortured terrorism suspects. Do you think that capital and corporal punishment work, or do they just cause people to be angrier and more violent? Explain.

The Torture and execution in Shakespeare's England was brutal. For example if you were a peeping tom , one of your eyes would be taken out. If you were a thief , one of your hands would be chopped off. The punishment back then was very horrible, and not something people think to do today. During Capital Punishment it was done in public for everyone to see , and also for entertainment. Capital Punishment constist of ducking , the wheel, tredeem, the french rack, and public humiliation. Ducking is when someone that committed a crime, is tied down to a chair and dunked into a lake to sit and dround. The wheel is when you're placed in between a wheel that has spikes and iron bars, each bar comes closer and closer to you crushing your body piecce by piece. If you're not dead by time they're finish and most likely you're not, they finish you off by sending a single blow of the wheel to your heart. Tredeem is being hung by your neck , and being cut open by your Corporal Punishment was also done while in public for everyone to see the punishment for the littlest crimes.
