Back then torcher was big. In England they torture criminals with the rack, public shame and cutting their body parts off. It depends on what type of crime they did. They could be hung or their heads could be cut off and put on pedastole. The crime back then was more in depth with torture. In todays world their no torture. The only torture we have is prison. We have the death pleaty for people that did more than one crime. In England back then was horriable because of all the torture.I think we should use torture because sometimes we need to seek information to do our jobs or teach someone a lesson. If your like a poilce officer you need to seek imformation to catch the criminal that committed a crime. So i think torture is the best way to get imformation.
