I went to the torture device museum show when I was in San Diego about a decade ago.

Seeing how cruelty was inflicted stays with you, so I don't recommend it unless you're studying that area.

The closest analogy is that once you see the goatsie picture, you can't unsee it.

At a higher level, learning how government abused punishment in the past does make you question whether they're any more qualified today.
