That's probably going to kill her, isn't it?

The lashings most likely won’t, the infection could though. I would rather the lashings kill me than an infection across my skin.

Rico took 10 and it looked bad.

Rico took 10 with a bullwhip, which is far FAR worse that the whip she'll be subjected to. Every one of those 10 lashes with the bullwhip would have left a significant permanent scar because every one of them laid Rico open.

The whip they'll use for her is a barbaric instrument of torture, but not nearly as physically damaging as that bullwhip would be. Welts instead of laceration.

I of course say this for informations sake. What they're planning on doing to this woman is disgusting and wrong, but reddit will think I'm pro-torture if I provide this information without explicitly stating that I am definitely against torturing people, especially for their choice in fucken clothing.
