A more thorough explanation:

DEVIL ON THE NECK

Devil on the neck is a historical torture device that was used to force confessions out of people. It was made of irons that were fastened to a person's neck and legs and then wrenched together to either gradually or quickly break the person's back.

During the medieval times, the devil on the neck was a common torture device used by the authorities to extract confessions from people accused of crimes. The accused person would be forced to wear the device, and the irons would be tightened until their back was broken.

Another example of the devil on the neck being used was during the Spanish Inquisition. The authorities used this device to torture people who were suspected of being heretics or witches.

The examples illustrate how the devil on the neck was used as a torture device to extract confessions from people. The device was designed to cause extreme pain and suffering, and the threat of using it was often enough to make people confess to crimes they did not commit. The use of this device was a cruel and inhumane practice that violated human rights.
