Hamlyn History of Punishment and Torture
Hamlyn History of Punishment and Torture | Karen Farrington
1 post | 3 read
“Although empathetic, Farrington maintains a historian's objective eye.”—Publisher's Weekly. Images graphically show bodies nailed to crosses; suspects tied to ducking stools; and the ruthless courts of the Inquisition. Discussions of human sacrifice, ordeal by fire or water, the dark days of juvenile justice, and capital punishment reveal the astonishing array of clever and cruel sentences devised by those determined to deliver the ultimate punishments.

DS9 4.19 #HardTime Let's torture Miles O'Brien again! A favourite of mine, a gut wrenching episode on the real trauma of incarceration, but it sadly stands alone and is never heard of again. Depression should not solved in between episodes. Fear not, though, he'll be tortured again soon. This epi, along with TNG's Chain of Command, are perfect examples to teach how torture affects humans. #startreksummerjune

Megabooks Chain of Command was very powerful, too, I agree. Both the DS9 episode and the TNG one are hard for me to rewatch. 5y
tournevis @Megabooks I'd be worries if you found them easy to watch. 5y
