Torture devices are pieces of equipment designed to inflict physical or emotional trauma on a person. Examples could include:
- An "Iron Maiden"
- The "rack"
- A wet towel wrapped around the head
- Strappado (tying the persons hands behind their back and then lifting towards the ceiling).
- A pillory
- The "breaking wheel" (people are tied spread-eagled to a wagon wheel and beaten to death slowly).
