During World War II the protagonist Ariana ( Nastassja Kinski) is arrested and flogged by a nazi seargent, but after several lashes she's saved by a captain ( Carsten Norgaard) who knows her family. This seems to be a modern-day re-enactment, for what purpose is unclear, of an ancient traditional Korean "lying flat on the ground" flogging as seen in some of the paintings above (see previous two items). Taken in 1891 at the Nerchinsk hard labour mines. Picture is held the National Library of Russia in St Petersburg. Drawing from The American Magazine purporting to show a paddling in a prison. We do not know whether this is closely based on reality or just the artist's imagination. I do not remember seeing a barrel used in this way before. It would seem more logical to have the recipient placed over the barrel sideways on, as used to be done in Jamaica for judicial CP (see "Stills from The Harder They Come"). This billboard is in Calang, the capital of Aceh Jaya district. It reads: "Don't break the Islamic Sharia Regulations, because the cane awaits you".

Sir -- I am very glad your newspaper has brought into the realm of discussion the above subject. I am headmistress of a school, in which there are 175 girls from 8 to 19 years, and I find it necessary to spank on the bare seat for disobedience. Last term I caned a girl of 19 years for giving trouble, and I must say it did her good. How is it brutal to punish in that way? If I hit the girls on the head, or continually nagged at them, I should be the victim of criticism. Your correspondent, "Parent," is very reasonable in her remarks. No amount of criticism will restrain me from inflicting capital [sic] punishment in the way I have done. I detest using the lash, but I have no other alternative. Similar to the above, but with uniformed officials in attendance. I'm told that the plet had been abolished as a court sentence in 1863 but continued to be used for internal prison discipline purposes until 1903. Its use is said to have been rare, the less severe birch being the more usual instrument. Associated Press picture from April 2008. A plain-clothes police officer beats a woman with a sjambok during protests in Nairobi.In light of the previous item and other recent information, and further study of the picture, it is now clear that this is another case of the use of the patta, the special judicial punishment instrument used by Punjab police. It can be seen in the hands of the officer stooping at right, who has landed a blow with it on the culprit's posterior just an instant before the photo was taken. Mark (2016-07-06). "This romantic thriller based on a true story is undermined by compromises". Mature Times . Retrieved 2021-05-15. A very similar scene to the above. The officials seem to be taking it in turn to administer the strokes. A remarkably large number of rods is being held in reserve. Meghan Markle mingles with Hollywood set again at Variety Power of Women gala in Los Angeles - after she and Prince Harry 'distanced themselves' from new book that claimed they were 'kept in the dark' about Queen's health

From Life Magazine (November 1955). A guard at the new Louisiana State Penitentiary poses in silhouette with a prison strap, incorrectly described as a bull whip. The caption states that the implement was no longer being used, so one wonders quite why it is shown being brandished in this manner. Many soldiers bending over for a caning while an officer advances down the line punishing each in turn. This looks like "the real thing", though possibly unofficial.An outlaw sentenced to 100 lashes is tied to a post and severely flogged in this Australian western. From a Dutch book, Uit onze Koloniën: Uitvoerig reisverhaal (From our colonies: Detailed account of a journey), by Henri Hubert van Kol (Leiden, 1903). I now hear that it was also reproduced as a picture postcard. These purport to be old paintings of Korean judicial corporal punishment in progress. Note that the one in which the light cane is being used has the offender strapped to the bench previously seen, whereas the depiction of the big paddle in use shows him simply lying on the ground. In both cases his trousers have been pulled down, as seen in the real-life old photographs. Karen felt aroused slightly, which made her feel even more of a naughty girl. But stood before Mummy as she scolded her was such a mixture of feelings. Her pubic hair had grown, it was now a delightful mixture of light fair hair with a hint of ginger, like her hair. The mirror of the dressing table was behind her, so Mummy could see her bottom, a bottom she was so proud of, like her new breasts, pert, and pleasingly plump.
