A crucifix was used because it prolonged the suffering and agony of the criminal on it. This was considered a suitable punishment, whereas sticking the offender on a pole without the crossbeam the result would be death in a fairly short space of time. It is known that those that died from crucifixion would suffer for hours before death.

What does the cross mean to Christians?
The cross symbol can traced back 2000 years pre-Christ and used by non-Christian cultures as a "magic" to give protection or good fortune. Many Bible Scholars have agreed that Jesus was put to death on an upright stake not two pieces of timber placed at any angle. True Christians wholeheartedly believe that Jesus death provides us with an opportunity for deliverance; however, having a symbol of the tool used to end his life here on earth can lead to it becoming an object of devotion or worship, which is idolatry. As a result, true Christians refrain from using the cross in their worship.
