Human torture concepts from the past and perhaps even the present are outlined below.
Human torture in effect was outlawed in the United States by the Constitution.
"In France, the Napoleonic Code forbade torture as part of the legal process and served as a model of statutory reform throughout Europe. The 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (prohibiting self-incrimination ) and the 8th Amendment (prohibiting cruel and unusual _punishment) effectively outlaw torture in the United States." (3)
