Banished, beheaded, or boiled in oil

a hair-raising history of crime and punishment throughout the ages!

The history of punishing criminals is a long and gruesome one. In 620 BC, a Greek named Draco wrote a legal code that punished almost every crime with death, except murder! For that, criminals were exiled. Odd facts about crime and punishment like this abound in history.
