An extract from //Little Felons: Child Convicts.// (2005, p. 29).

“One convict was given 75 lashes for running away. He described what it felt like:

They tied me up- having bared my back, and the cruel whip descended. The first blow made me feel sick in stomack and heart. …Again and again the nine thongs came twisting and gloating with my flesh, and I felt cold warm blood running down my back.”

An extract from [|www.convictcentral.com]

“Convicts were housed below decks on the prison deck and often further confined behind bars. In many cases they were restrained in chains and were only allowed on deck for fresh air and exercise. Conditions were cramped and they slept on hammocks. Cruel masters, harsh discipline and scurvy, dysentery and typhoid resulted in a huge loss of life.”
