The purpose of punishment is to educate the person who commit a crime to realise his mistake, repent, accept his punishment so that he/she will not commit the same mistake, rehabiliate and then lead a second life and be a good citizen when returning to the society.

Amputation of limbs – is tantamount to torture and the lost of limbs are irreversible.
100 lashes – is torture and he/she may not be able to survive.
Stoning to death – is slow, painful death and tantamount to torture.

Crime need to be punished to ensure deterrence, but torture are inhumane because it inflict tremendous pain, encourage cruelty and inhumane behaviours.
