Draaikooi (=Turn Cage)

A trollop is a somewhat old-fashioned name for a prostitute. How does one actually that name. But before we go back to the time before 1800.
In those days we did not have to corporal punishment, and if there was a twist this cage was for prostitutes and adulterous women.
The rotation was mostly an iron cage cage, a bench with it, which, by means of a crank could be quickly reversed. The women who were sentenced to the cage were turning on her bench put in the cage, with iron braces for neck, waist and feet put down. Then the car began to spin rapidly. The crowd began to be flooded to dance and sing, and veroordelde was sick and got out of awareness. When we had finished the run was unconscious with a few buckets of rinse water, thrown in a cart, and, under a deafening cheers, and the gate driven out out there in the grass down, getting back out.
