Abstract:
Punishments administered, and those administering punishment, for a number of crimes during the State's colonial history changed greatly by the early 20th-century. A general trend emerges from corporal punishment, locking prisoners in stocks and beating/maiming them depending on the crime, to more civil sentences, varying lengths of imprisonment. Another shift occurs in the governing body doling out punishment from the crown in England to a judicial system within the state.
