Going by the title of this paper you are probably asking yourself "How in
God's name can torture be seen as an art, were these people mentally ill?"
well it was, but I talk about that later, let me tell you a little about the
history of torture. Torture has been around since the times of Ancient Greece
and is still around today, usually in the Mafia. Other than the mob, torture
isn't very common in our society. Punishments aren't near as harsh as they
used to be back in medieval times. The only punishments we have now are jails,
the punishments there were in medieval times were numerous and downright inhuman.
Torture would keep criminal from doing something wrong again, assuming he lived
through the torture. The punishments we have today are laughable and dumb.
Big deal, you are thrown in prison for a few years, you don't suffer one bit,
but to the inmates, being thrown on a chain gang is so terrible. Being given
hundreds of paper cuts and being rolled in salt, now......
