DEATH PENALTY
WHEN LIFE GENERATES DEATH (LEGALLY)

GARROTTE

Survival time: 25 minutes
It consists of a bench in which the sentenced sits. He leans on a pole around which there is an iron circle that grips him around the throat; a screw handle tightens harder and harder until he dies by strangling, while an iron wedge causes the breaking of cerebral vertebrae.
Garrotte was used in Spain until a few decades ago.
