Idea To Stop Many Deaths

CRAZY SNAKE BOY!
You like contraptions and devices - I have idea for you to create with my good friend, Toshiko! It will do much to enforce punishments of horror upon those who cause a great many murders!
[Shown just under her writing, for all to see, is Aleera's picture of her 'ADMIRAL'S PAIN MACHINE' idea (in underlined capitals and everything). It's the result of a hyperactive Transylvanian vampire bride's sum total of mechanical engineering knowledge, resulting from hanging around Frankenstein's weird lightning machine thingy, which Igor helped to make work, back in her world...
It's the most over-complicated mechanised contraption one could ever imagine, operated by steam and electricity, ropes and pulleys. A stick figure of someone with an ANGRY FACE is being shown shoved into a vertical casket. Arrows and labels describe the machine somehow magically subjecting the victim to 'GREAT PAINS OF HORROR' and 'DIRTY PEASANT HUMILIATION'; except she doesn't give an explanation for how this is meant to happen. In fact, the only thing one can possibly work out from how she's labelled the thing is that it might actually do a rather good job of washing clothes... If one wanted to use up several hundred thousand volts and produce copious amounts of steam, in the process.
Another diagram shows the stick figure with what is now a HAPPY SMILE, being led out and released from it! For some reason, they are now without shoes. There is also a mysterious pipe which now drips with a curious red substance, leading off to a tank which is labelled 'MEAT-JUICE'.
It's sort of like if O'Brien went insane and decided to devise how to brainwash people with completely unworkable steampunk technology.]
You can make work, yes?
