Old Melbourne Gaol (Jail), Russell Street Melbourne VIC

As I mentioned in the previous image, the ropes used for hanging came to have a leather coating to minimise lacerations in the process itself.

After all, the punishment was supposed to be the result of the hanging process. The process itself wasn't intended to confer additional suffering.
