Slaves were considered animals, so they were not treated human. Slaves who worked and lived on plantations were the most frequently punished. Punishment could be administered by the plantation owner or master, his wife, children (white males), and most often by the overseer or driver. Slaves were punished with a variety of objects and instruments(whips, etc).
The treatment of slaves depended completely on their "owners".

Treatment varied:The Romans had laws and rules at some point governing the treatment, use, and release of Slaves.
Others like Nazi Germany in their concentration camps the stated purpose was to work the slaves to death.
In the old south the slaves were property, just like a cow or a dog but much more valuable. It was certainly to owner's advantage to keep his slaves in good physical condition. Of course, slaves had no freedom of choice and slaves who did not obey orders were beaten or punished in others harsh ways.
