By Graeme Newman

This collection of art works comprising Books 1 and 2,  provides glimpses of the ways in which we and our ancestors have punished those who broke the rules and laws; to repeat, some real, some imagined. The reader, confronted with an expanse of horror, sits back relieved that we no longer treat criminals or misfits or sinners or women
