The story “In the Penal Colony.” By Kafka’s is simple about a traveler who was invited to an unnamed island by the Commander where a penal colony takes place, which is settlement where the await of being exiled happens, and it was this brutal ordeal the traveler was invited to witness. That condemned is a male prisoner who is only being sentenced to death for failing to respect his superior, he is being sentenced to death by a machine known as the apparatus developed by the officers (the man who guards the condemned and commutes the execution) former commander. The machine is build with wood  with a contains soft bed for the any condemned to lie on their stomach above them is designer that has multiple needles that functions by moving back and forth/up and down on the persons back. It’s also uses the needles to makes the very crime or wrong doing the person did on their back.

    To the officer explains how reasonable doubt is more than enough to go through with such punishment, on this island there is no such this as innocent until proven guilty, believing there was a reason why there were accused and they would just lie when interrogated. The traveler agrees to watch despite his disapproval. It was said that the traveler was here to oppose this form of justice rather than condemn it, according to the officer. Believing someone who was not from this island could be the only one persuade the Commander to change the way they do things. He gets this mentality from how it was this kind of justice some rulers rules against, due to constant prejudice he removes the condemned from the apparatus and places himself upon it instead.
