The Victorian treadmill, often used as a form of punishment in prisons, was officially abolished in the UK in 1933. Its use had declined significantly prior to this, as it was increasingly viewed as inhumane and ineffective for rehabilitation. The practice had originally been introduced in the early 19th century as a means of labor for prisoners.
