Shipped to a colony (australia) and were slaves/servants. Worked the land during the day, at night slept on the boat. Hoisted onto a ducking school, taken through the town to embarrass her. Metal face mask with a rod that stabbed tongue if she spoke. Done in the middle of the day for population can see. Capital punishment is much more costly than incarceration. Capital punishment is not a good deterrence because no one thinks they are going to get caught. Canada got rid of capital punishment in 1976. The most common sentence is probation (46%) Aboriginals overrepresented more likely to be denied bail and then sentenced to prison. More likely to be jailed for non-payment of fines.
