People were put in the stocks as a form of punishment for minor offenses and public humiliation in the past. This method involved securing an individual in a wooden framework that immobilized their feet, often in a public space, allowing passersby to ridicule or throw objects at them. The stocks served both as a deterrent to others and a means of enforcing social norms within the community. This practice was common in Europe and colonial America until the 19th century.
