  If you were very naughty, you might be asked to remove your clothing and climb inside this vertical coffin, where of course it was pitch dark, there was no water, and fresh air was scarce. Then the box (which was clad in sheet iron) would stand in the hot sun until you got nice and warm. But you wouldn't want to slump or faint, because then your bare flesh might get snagged on the ends of the long nails that had been pounded into it from random directions . . . .
