Doel was om de verdachte een bekentenis te laten doen. Deze werd op zijn rug gelegen met strakke touwen over schenen en de borst vastgebonden aan de pijnbank. De foltering bestond uit het aandraaien van \u2018coorden\u2019 waarin grote knopen zaten om de schenen en het hoofd. Ook kon de verdachte gegeseld worden met een roede of een zweep. De pijnbank was bewust net iets smaller dan het menselijk lichaam: zo kon de zweep direct op het lichaam van de verdachte knallen (zonder dat de bank in de weg zat) en sneden de koorden direct in het vlees, wat extreem pijnlijk was.<\/p>\n<p>De pijnbank in de Gevangenpoort behoort waar\u00adschijnlijk tot een van de weinige voorwerpen die na de sluiting van de poort als gevangenis in 1828 zijn achtergebleven. Daarmee is het de enige pijnbank in Nederland die nog op zijn oorspronkelijke locatie getoond wordt.<\/p>\n<p>Onthoofdingen behoorden tot het begin van de 19<sup>de<\/sup>\u00a0eeuw tot de strafpraktijk in Nederland, al werd de straf niet vaak opgelegd. Onthoofding met het zwaard was namelijk \u2018voorbehouden\u2019 aan mensen uit de hogere standen. Bekende voorbeelden zijn de graven van Horne en Egmont in 1568 en landsadvocaat Johan van Oldenbarnevelt in 1619. Ter dood veroordeelde misdadigers uit het gewone volk kregen meestal de strop \u2013 een straf die als bijzonder oneervol werd gezien.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_font=&#8221;font-623990&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;571711&#8243;]Specificaties[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;531674&#8243;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vervaardiger: onbekend<\/li>\n<li>Datering: ca. 1600-1700<\/li>\n<li>Objectnummer: 092<\/li>\n<li>Materialen: eikenhout<\/li>\n<li>Afmetingen: 210 bij 38 cm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;7&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;354896&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;80&#8243; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; font_family=&#8221;font-623990&#8243; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1170,"parent":1175,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"collectie-categorie":[40],"class_list":["post-1251","collectie","type-collectie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","collectie-categorie-topstukken"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
