Original Note:
The pillory was in fact cruel. Offenders would stand for several hours to be abused by fellow citizens. They were often pelted with rotten eggs, mud and filth. Further punishments were: being nailed to the pillory, sexual assault, whipping, etc. Many people died from it. https://wshc.org.uk/the-pillory-as-punishment/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillory
