Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by the author analyzes the negative effects of the Tread-wheel as a form of punishment for prisoners in the 1800s. The author argues the machine was a form of torture that led to many prisoners to suffer severe physical and mental health issues (including death). The author's… personal experience working as a prisoner on the Tread-wheel gives the book a powerful perspective on the devastating effects of this machine. Despite being created to replace the death penalty, the Tread-wheel is presented as equally cruel and unusual punishment. The author highlights the importance of understanding the cruel and unusual nature of the Tread-wheel to ensure it is never used again. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
