    "So this is hell. I'd never have believed it. You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the "burning marl." Old wives' tales! There's no need for red-hot pokers. Hell is-other people! " ~ Jean-Paul Sartre

      there is nothing about this form of execution that is fun to portray or remember. Everybody involved in anything to do with this wheel were, quite frankly, sick (pope, courts, audience, executioner, and accused).

    This is what the Founding Fathers must have meant when they referred to "cruel and unusual punishments," although they were all too usual in those days. It makes me very grateful that there eventually was a 'New' World for people to escape this stuff from and have civil liberties. I feel like that freedom paved the way for the rest of the world to eventually do away with this stuff.

      Probably the most famous victim of the wheel was Victor Oge. He was broken on the wheel in Cap-Francais, Saint-Domingue (now Cap-Haitien, Haiti), in 1791 for the crime of advocating equality between the white and mixed-race populations. That happened in the New World.
