11. Bamboo torture
Bamboo tree is very soft, and it grows very fast which is the reason why it was commonly used in executions in many countries in the past. According to the historical data, it was widely used on Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Siam (Taiwan) in the 19th century, and during World War II in Japanese prisons. A person would be tied to a frame and placed over small bamboo trees. In only a couple of weeks, the trees would penetrate through the skin and grow inside the person’s body. The person was certainly alive during this horribly painful process. These gradual and slow impalements torn skin, tissue, and bones until the person finally dies.
