In France an execution by effigy or in effigy is adopted in the case of a criminal who has fled from justice .
By the public exposure or exhibition of a picture or representation of him on a scaffold ,
on which his name and the decree condemning him are written ,
he is deemed to undergo the punishment to which he has been sentenced .
Since the adoption of the Code Civil ,
the practice has been to affix the names ,
qualities or addition ,
and the residence of the condemned person ,
together with an extract from the sentence of condemnation ,
to a post set upright in the ground ,
instead of exhibiting a portrait of him on the scaffold .
