 Use of the Rack Sanctioned in Medieval Europe Quote:

There were no laws or rules to protect the treatment of prisoners who faced torture, such as the Rack by Stretching and Dislocation.
Torture was seen as a totally legitimate means for justice to extract confessions, obtain the names of accomplices, obtain testimonies or confessions.

I don't think we want to turn back the clock.
Isn't change a good thing?
