Back in 2003, I got to experience how punishment was administered in the 1700's in Colonial Virginia. On a trip to Williamsburg, VA. I got to try out the pillory and stocks outside of the Court House. The bondage is not real intense, but you can not escape from it. Under the hot Virginia sun in August, I got a taste of bondage and punishment in Colonial times. I felt these are also fitting pics for the Fourth of July.
In case you have never been to Williamsburg, VA., this is what the outside and inside of a Colonial Jail looked like. Note back in the 1700's, Jail was spelt Gaol.
