In history, prisoners were sometimes kept in a cage. They would possibly be chained up inside into uncomfortable positions to intensify suffering. Not case5: a man was chained neck to wrists to ankles to bars in a cage for 16 days in a tiny cage of 2 ft by 2 ft in World War II.

Famous quotes containing the word humans:
“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.”
—Mary Arrigo (20th century)
“All humans have a heart that can tell right from wrong.”
—Chinese proverb.
Mencius.
“...there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant. But mortals die, and are laid low; humans expire, and where are they?”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 14:7-10.
