Torture
Torture is the infliction of severe physical pain, psychological pain, and possibly injury to a person or other living being on purpose. In most cases, the victim is restrained and unable to resist the violence of the perpetrator. Torture has been used and continues to be used by individuals, organizations, and governments, regardless of numerous governments' and international organizations' laws opposing torture. This is because there are numerous motives for torture such as: punishment, revenge, political re-education, deterrence, interrogation or coercion of the victim or a third party, or simply the sadistic gratification of those carrying out or observing the torture.

Pope Francis was a very young Jesuit provincial during the last years of Argentina's "dirty war", and for the first three years of the military junta. There are no credible accusations of his personal involvement in the torture or death of Argentinians.
Rumors of complicity, as provincial, in the arrest and torture of two fellow Jesuits were denied even by the victims themselves. While many of the nation's bishops were complicit, the Jesuit provincial Begoglio did not publicly support the junta. Several survivors, in fact, recount his critical involvement in a kind of 'underground railroad', using the seminary and other resources to save lives.
There are many bodies overseeing the treatment of prisoners. The CCRF (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms) often applies more to prisoners than it does to average citizens. Allegations of torture are often reported. Representatives of Human rights organizations such as The John Howard Society, Elizabeth Fry Society and the Citizens Advisory Committee among others are in every prison daily monitoring these and other complaints. Torture can be defined many ways including the incarceration itself. Serious complaints are seldom verified. The United Nations committee does not get involved unless widespread complaints are backed up by qualified organizations. Prisons are not Spa's or vacation spots. Housing criminals together in one spot creates many problems and these problems are dealt with through many avenues of complaint. Allegations of torture get swift and immediate scrutiny and often the complainant and or family of the incarcerated criminal are well aware of this. The recent decision to eliminate smoking on CSC property has resulted in many "torture" complaints.
Torturing prisoners of war is often rationalized by some as a means of extracting critical intelligence that could save lives or gain strategic advantages. However, it is widely condemned by international law, including the Geneva Conventions, as it violates human rights and ethical standards. Torture can lead to unreliable information, damage a nation's moral standing, and foster further conflict and resentment. Ultimately, it undermines the principles of justice and humanity that societies strive to uphold.

Why is torture unconstitutional?
The Eight Amendment prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment":
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
The Fifth Amendment provides that no person shall be compelled to testify against himself, nor deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
A Catherine Wheel is a Firework that sits on a stick and spins around and around and produces colors.
Catherine Wheels are very popular in Great Britain. In other nations, it is sometimes better known as a pinwheel. The basic design of a Catherine wheel includes a hub on which to rotate, with explosives mounted to it. When ignited, the hub spins, throwing sparks and flame from the firework. Readers of the Harry Potter novels may be familiar with the Catherine wheel, as one runs rampant, an apparently not uncommon problem, during Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
The firework is named, oddly enough, for a Christian martyr. Catherine of Alexandria lived during the fourth century CE, and was by all accounts an uncommonly well educated woman. In addition to being well read, she participated in debates with leading members of society, and successfully converted many highly placed individuals to Christianity. As a result, she was condemned to "breaking on the wheel," a death which involved having one's limbs broken and threaded through an abundantly spiked wheel. The victim would succumb to his or her injuries, but only after several days. However, when Catherine touched the wheel, it broke, and she was beheaded instead.

How long did it take to execute someone in a brazen bull?
The brazen bull history:
The Brazen Bull was invented by Perilaus of Athens (a Brass worker) in the 6th Century BC and offered to Phalaris, Tyrant of Agrigentum, as a gift. It was a large brass bull that was completely hollow inside with a door on the side large enough for a man to enter. Once the man was inside the bull, a fire would be lit beneath it in order to roast him to death. In the head of the bull, Perilaus put a series of tubes and stops that were designed to amplify the screams of the victim and make them sound like the roar of a bull.
Interestingly, Perilaus was the first person to feel the pain of the Brazen Bull. After Perilaus said to Phalaris: "[his screams] will come to you through the pipes as the tenderest, most pathetic, most melodious of bellowings", Phalaris was so disgusted that he tricked Perilaus in to entering the bull. Lucian recounts the tale:
'His words revolted me. I loathed the thought of such ingenious cruelty, and resolved to punish the artificer in kind. "If this is anything more than an empty boast, Perilaus," I said to him, "if your art can really produce this effect, get inside yourself, and pretend to roar; and we will see whether the pipes will make such music as you describe." He consented; and when he was inside I closed the aperture, and ordered a fire to be kindled. "Receive," I cried, "the due reward of your wondrous art: let the music-master be the first to play." Phalaris I:12
Perilaus was removed from the Bull before he died and Phalaris had him thrown off a cliff. The Brazen Bull became one of the most common methods of execution in Ancient Greece.
--Listverse--
I guess that back in the 6th century there were no clock to measure the time that took a person to die in the braze bull since no records exist to tell how much time it took.
