Yes, although their framework falls into obscurity now...
The origonal use be as subtle punitive for children being disciplined.
Parents would clutch the offending child upstairs to the "turret" (From the similar word root of Tourettes Syndrome - named due to the child AND parents swearing during this).
There the child would be commanded to "Sit contained by the corner until I tell you otherwise!!"
