Death Penalty Punishment by Death Imagine having your hands tied and then walked to an elevated scaffold where you would meet death as your accusers pushed you down and cast stones at you until your bloody body lay motionless under a pile of rocks. This was a form of capital punishment used by ancient Greeks and Hebrews. In china a method called, “Death by a thousand cuts” slowly killed a criminal by carving out small bits of flesh over days. In India, elephant executioners would smash the heads of criminals with their elephant’s foot and many parts of Europe were notorious for their torturing devices and public dismembering of human bodies. These are early examples of capital punishment given by Mark Costanzo, author of Just revenge and they illustrate how ancient civilizations punished their criminals in brutal and gruesomely violent ways. Today the methods of electrocution and lethal injection are ways more humane to punish a criminal convicted of a capital crime. Nonetheless, the death penalty has many arguing if such measures of punishment should be retained.
