    Here's what Filch actually says:

    "Follow me," said Filch, lighting a lamp and leading them outside.
"I'll bet you'll think twice about
    breaking a school rule again, won't you, eh," he said, leering at
them.  "Oh yes, hard work and pain
    are the best teachers, if you ask me.  It's just a pity they let the
old ways die out.  Hang you by your wrists
    from the ceiling for a few days.  I've got the chains still in my
office.  Keep 'em well oiled in case they're ever needed."
    (HP/PS, transcribed from audio)

So no, he--Filch---never actually did it, but he says it has been done
in the past.  Was it in Armando Dippett's time or before?
Guess this makes me a nitpicker.  And I do agree with Haggridd, the
crunchy ones *are* best! ;)
