Convicts were whipped as a form of punishment and deterrence in the criminal justice system, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries. This method aimed to inflict physical pain as a means of discipline and to discourage both the individual and others from committing crimes. Whipping was often used for various offenses, perceived as a more humane alternative to harsher penalties like execution. Additionally, it served to reinforce societal norms and maintain order within penal institutions.
