The picket, picquet or piquet was a form of military punishment in vogue in the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe. It consisted of the offender being forced to stand on the narrow flat top of a peg for a period of time. The punishment died out in the 18th century and was so unfamiliar by 1800 that when the then governor of Trinidad, Sir Thomas Picton, ordered Luisa Calderon, a woman of European and African ancestry to be so punished, he was accused by public opinion in England of inflicting a torture akin to impalement. It was thought erroneously that the prisoner was forced to stand on the head of a pointed stake, and this error was repeated in the New English Dictionary.

| - El piquete, picquet o piquet fue una forma de castigo militar en boga en los siglos XVI y XVII en Europa. Consistía en que el infractor era forzado a permanecer sobre la parte superior plana y estrecha de una clavija durante un periodo de tiempo. El castigo desapareció en el siglo XVIII y era tan desconocido por 1800 que cuando el entonces gobernador de Trinidad, Sir Thomas Picton, ordenó que Luisa Calderón, una mujer de ascendencia europea y africana fuera castigada, fue acusado por la opinión pública en Inglaterra de causar una tortura semejante al empalamiento. Se pensaba erróneamente que el prisionero era forzado a pararse sobre la punta de una estaca puntiaguda, y este error se repitió en el New English Dictionary. (es)

| - El piquete, picquet o piquet fue una forma de castigo militar en boga en los siglos XVI y XVII en Europa. Consistía en que el infractor era forzado a permanecer sobre la parte superior plana y estrecha de una clavija durante un periodo de tiempo. El castigo desapareció en el siglo XVIII y era tan desconocido por 1800 que cuando el entonces gobernador de Trinidad, Sir Thomas Picton, ordenó que Luisa Calderón, una mujer de ascendencia europea y africana fuera castigada, fue acusado por la opinión pública en Inglaterra de causar una tortura semejante al empalamiento. Se pensaba erróneamente que el prisionero era forzado a pararse sobre la punta de una estaca puntiaguda, y este error se repitió en el New English Dictionary. El castigo requería colocar una clavija de madera (de las usualmente empleadas para sujetar tiendas o riendas de caballos) en el suelo con el extremo opuesto hacia arriba. El malhechor era típicamente un soldado voluntario que había desobedecido las órdenes. Era suspendido por una muñeca con una cuerda, mientras la suela o el pie desnudo opuesto era colocado sobre la clavija, un pedazo de madera más largo que ancho y redondeado en la parte superior la cual era lo suficientemente estrecha como para causar gran molestia, pero no lo bastante afilada como para provocar sangre. Para aliviar la presión sobre el pie, el prisionero relegaba todo su peso sobre la muñeca, lo que solo podía aliviarse volviendo a colocar todo el peso sobre el otro pie. El procedimiento podría continuar unas horas, o prolongarse un día o dos. El castigo generalmente no causaba daño físico duradero. Una tortura de suspensión mucho más severa y físicamente dañina era la conocida como garrucha. (es)
- The picket, picquet or piquet was a form of military punishment in vogue in the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe. It consisted of the offender being forced to stand on the narrow flat top of a peg for a period of time. The punishment died out in the 18th century and was so unfamiliar by 1800 that when the then governor of Trinidad, Sir Thomas Picton, ordered Luisa Calderon, a woman of European and African ancestry to be so punished, he was accused by public opinion in England of inflicting a torture akin to impalement. It was thought erroneously that the prisoner was forced to stand on the head of a pointed stake, and this error was repeated in the New English Dictionary. The punishment required placing a wooden peg (of the sort used for tents or for a line for cavalry horses; "picket" etc. were originally alternative names for such pegs) in the ground with the exposed end facing upward. The malefactor was typically a private soldier who had disobeyed orders. One wrist was suspended from a tree by a rope, while the sole or heel of the opposite bare foot was balanced on top of the peg, a piece of wood about four inches long by two inches wide and rounded at the top to about half an inch to meet the legal requirements. The top of the peg was narrow enough to cause considerable discomfort, but not sharp enough to draw blood. To relieve pressure upon a foot, the prisoner relegated all his weight to the wrist, which could only be relieved by shifting weight back onto the other foot. The procedure could be continued for a few hours, to as much as a day or two. The punishment generally did not cause lasting physical harm. A much more severe and physically damaging suspension torture is known as strappado. (en)
