What is iron cages?

An iron cage is a type of enclosure or confinement made of iron bars or grates, usually used for imprisoning or restricting the movements of humans or animals. It is often associated with punishment or captivity and has been used throughout history in various forms.

Iron cages have been used in prisons, dungeons, and as punishment for crimes, particularly during the Middle Ages. They have also been used in circuses and zoos to contain wild animals, and in agriculture to restrain livestock.

In modern times, iron cages have largely been replaced by more humane forms of confinement, such as prison cells or animal enclosures with more natural environments. However, iron cages are still used in some countries as a form of punishment, particularly in authoritarian regimes.

Iron cages can come in various sizes and designs, from small cages for individual confinement to larger cages or enclosures for groups of people or animals. They can be both temporary or permanent structures, depending on their intended use.
