Earlier this year, as captured in the recent series on Seth, Jared let his sadistic desires get the better of him and greatly exceeded the limits allowed by law while applying electric current to Seth’s body, potentially causing permanent damage. Jared’s excessive behavior nearly lost our contract with several states that pay us to torture their young prisoners and post the results online, creating an effective deterrent while saving taxpayers money. Now Jared must pay for his crime. He will be crucified for 12 hours – generally believed to be beyond the survival limit for even someone as physically fit and powerfully built as Jared. But what a sight to behold: Solid muscle crucified. Next week: Losing the loincloth.

The cross always wins. Jared has the perfect body to survive long-term crucifixion: He is lean and powerful for his weight, with long arms, a muscular torso and massive legs. He is young and extremely fit, but even his physique is no match for the slow, grueling torture of the cross. You can see the pain on his boyish face and the strain in his amazing body. And suddenly it gets much worse. His master slashes his crucified body with the bullwhip, cutting deep welts into his chest and abs. “You are not so cocky now, are you?” the man sneers. “This is who you really are, Jared: a naked boy hanging on the cross, broken and in agony,” he says, and resumes the whipping. Next week: Jared’s final hours.

Jared's magnificent body, glistening with sweat, covered with welts from the bull whip, is distorted by many hours on the cross. You can see it most profoundly in his elongated arms and the serrations in his chest, his once powerful biceps and pecs stretched to the breaking point. He is in such pain, he is nearly silent, with just the occasional moan of agony. By the tenth hour, his abdomen is sucked in so hard his ribs look like they will burst through his skin. By the eleventh hour, he is utterly collapsed, limp, in a state of shock, his abs fluttering in little spurts of deep, inner fatigue. When he is finally cut down, he remains in a state of shock for hours, too weak to lift himself up off the floor. Next week: Cole tricks a trick.
