But it is only a little while ago that a young Isletan who was accused spent three months in the neck-stocks in our aboriginal prison, and much of the time had to “ride the horse,” sitting with his legs crossed upon the adobe floor and the heavy weight of the stocks pressing him down, a torture worthy of the Inquisition.

Who acts: form, young Isletan, stocks · What happens: be, accuse, spend, have, ride, sit · To what, where: young Isletan, neck stocks, horse, legs, Isletan
