- Stocks were a type of punishment in medieval times and continued to be used until the idea of public humiliation became abhorrent - Stocks have become a staple in fiction and are often employed by unjust rulers to torment their citizens (since it doesn't outright kill them it may be seen as an alternative to mass execution). Stocks worked by strapping a victim's arms and neck between two planks of wood, often with an iron-lock - the victim would be left for a prolonged period of time like this and were often pelted with rotten fruit or worse by crowds. In particularly brutal examples victims would even be urinated on, spat and punched - authorities did little to stop this as it was seen as part of the punishment. Stocks were not designed to be fatal however and once the victim had been humiliated sufficiently they would be released - often exhausted and broken, this would lead to the practice being banned as an example of "cruel and unusual" punishment.

The stocks partially immobilized its victims and they were often exposed in a public place such as the site of a market to the scorn of those who passed by, however, is that when a person is placed in the stocks, their feet are locked in place, sometimes their hands may have been chained also. The victims feet were usually bare, this caused heightened humiliation. The practice of using stocks continues to be cited as an example of torture and cruel and unusual punishment. Victims may be insulted, kicked, tickled, spat on, or subjected to other inhumane acts at the discretion of passersby.
