A Scaffold is a law building where criminals are executed. Whether citizens get executed here depends on what sentence a judge gives at a court. Executions are done in public, to greatly dissuade others from committing any more crimes. There are three components to this building: the required gallows, required chopping blocks and optional decorations. Both the gallows and chopping blocks do not need to coexist for the construct to be valid, as having one or the other works just as well. Decorations add "fear" to the gallows, with more fear scaring citizens away from committing crimes more effectively.
As the in-game description states, this building is best placed in an area where the most possible citizens can see the executions, maximizing the efficiency in scaring citizens away from a life of crime.
In-game description
"Where caught criminals and other prisoners are taken for public execution. Execution squares are great for deterring crime and spread fear amongst your subjects. Consider placing it at a central location for maximum efficiency as well as keeping it maintained and manned."
