Quote from: Raven on Today at 09:51:52 AMI've always said it was a mistake to lose the village stocks. Being locked in a set of them is far more of a deterrent than prison IMO 🔒My wife's great (unsure how many greats) grandfather was the last man held in a local village stocks. The stocks were still in the village when we visited years ago but I think they had been moved from where they were used. There was a plaque to commemorate him with a slight alteration in the spelling of his name as was common when most were illiterate. His crime was drunkenness and beating his wife. The wording on the plaque as shown online now is either slightly different from the one we saw or I misremeber it.
Every knows about your crime, everyone pelted you with disgusting stuff it must have been so embarrassing and humiliating, most would never want to do it again. One hell of a lesson.
Quote from: muddy on Today at 08:48:23 AMYes but had those kids they lived the judges would be letting them out aft e r a paltry sentence as they have the killers of Andrew Harper .Exactly. The best possible outcome for those yobs, saves money and any other support for them if they were to be put in clink for a couple of weeks.

Yes, sitting in the stocks for a few hours, or even days, and having people pelt you with anything (within reason, perhaps including effluent if you're guilty of something nasty). Much more effective than spending a few weeks with your good mates in prison with food and everything supplied freely.

Was Social Media ever a Good Thing?
I'm beginning to think we were far better off without it.
