Witch prepared to undergo a slightly modified (though common and equally severe) form of the classical “Strappado” torture.Instead of her wrist bound behind her back, this technique would have had her elbows bound allowing a much greater time for the interrogation before she would have inevitably succumbed and lost consciousness from the most inhumane pain imaginable.The leverage and point of fulcrum moved foreword closer to her center of gravity would have slowed, not prevented, the massive dislocations and tearing of muscles and tendons which occurred during the Strappado.Indeed, with this most cruel modification, she could have literally been subjected to the torture for hours on end. -- source link
