The poor boys, many of whom were homeless or orphans, were taken from their cells and driven to a small platform set up under the gallows structure. Later that afternoon, those sentenced to death would be executed. Still, early in the morning, to encourage the residents to go to the central square, these young offenders were taken to entertain and entertain the audience.
The jailers knew how to please, and motivate the audience. They chose the best-looking boys and took them from the jail to the square, already naked and with their hands handcuffed behind their backs. Before organizing the line, they tied a tight rope to the base of their dicks. It was a way of handling the dicks, making them grow, and keeping them bigger and more beautiful for the audience.
In the square, since the boys were not condemned, since there were no established sentences, they offered the boys beatings with quince sticks, for fun and to raise some money for the jailers. Wealthy families could pay for the jailers to whip the boys, freely determining the number of blows and which part of their body to strike; or they could pay for the jailers to apply the lashes themselves. In either solution, the important goal was for the young bodies to contort and dance to the rhythm of the blows, preferably by singing, that is, shouting and crying loudly, putting on a beautiful and entertaining spectacle to entertain the audience that waits to watch the hangings.
