What object was used to punish prisoners?

I'm talking about that thing that they'd lay your head down and a blade would drop on it, and it beheads them. It sounds vicious, but it's for a history paper. I can't remember the nameWhat object was used to punish prisoners?
Guillotine - it's just the guy's name who invented it. And t was invented so that it would be a more HUMANE way of killing people. I guess before Mr. Guillotine invented this thing, they'd chop at people's heads with an ax, and it would take a few swings to get their head all the way off. The Guillotine got it off in one go.





Ahhhh - progress!What object was used to punish prisoners?
The guillotine.
