Torture in the Middle Age - Slam Dunk Paragraph

 In Chaos, I was tasked with creating a Slam Dunk Paragraph about torture in the Middle Ages. 

Why was Torture used? Unfortunately, the reason a lot of people in the Middle Ages used torture was that its the best way to get something out of a criminal or just as a punishment for their crimes, an example would be a thief, witch or murderer. Examples of the punishments would be pillars, thumb screws, the rack and Catherine wheel (breaking wheel), all of these were deadly and only the thumbscrews would only injure but still cause intense pain. All the methods would eventually lead to a confession/death, some shorter and others taking longer. As I have explained these were used often and had 100% success in either two of the summaries of the acts, death or a confession. Being so useful meant that the techniques would be used basically every time for a confession which was wanted from an unwilling criminal. They worked so well that they were used mostly instead of jail time, but there still was dungeons used as jail cells just not often. As you know now, torture was very useful for a wanted confession and would lead to 100% success. These confessions could've been unsafe.

I found doing the task a little difficult with not wanting to repeat an idea. It was getting evidence sentences that weren't the exact idea but bringing in actual evidence that was different in each sentence. Like one was, death from a wanted confession and another would be the success rate of the sessions.
