Talk:Mancuerda

"Mancuerda (also known as la garrucha) was a method of torture employed by the Inquisition, in which a cord was tied around the arms. The executioner wound the cord himself around the prisoner’s arms and threw his entire weight backwards, or the pressure would be exerted by a lever."

This paragraph is completely incoherent.

Performed initial clean-up. You may edit these yourself or add a "cleanup" tag if you feel that the language is incoherent.

Not capital punishment
How come capital punishment terminology is being used as in A tight cord was wound around the arms of the condemned. or The executioner wound the cord himself around the prisoner’s arms and threw his entire weight backwards, or the pressure would be exerted by a lever. for a torture method
