Iron Maiden wasn't that a torture  device consisting of double doors on the front with upright sarcophagus and spikes on the inner side. The device was so tortuous that initially it was considered to be a fictional device with no real existence. However, various documented proofs of the device were subsequently found and thus it was confirmed that the device was actually in vogue, although not perhaps during the medieval times.  The mechanism of operating Iron Maiden was quite simple. It had two doors which could be opened and shut. The victim was forced to get inside the Iron Maiden which was more like a standing coffin with a difference that it had sharp spikes on the inside. Once inside, the doors were shut on the victim and the spikes would pierce several organs of the body. However, in order to make sure that the victim would not die instantaneously, the spikes were not made long. This meant that they would only result in relatively small wounds and the victim would bleed to death over the course of several hours.
