Upside down crucifixion sounds better. Make an example.

    That wasn’t actually a more painful method. It was literally done as a mercy since you’d die faster, rather than the slow lingering death that might last days.

    (The length is closer to a handful of hours, rather than the handful of days normally. Remember, they were going to break their legs to kill them so people could go home before the sabbath kicked in. It was surprising that Jesus had already died.)
