United States, school paddle, provenance unknown, used by Florida TV station to illustrate item about school CP, 2003 S3, Ep.14: Journey into Violence. An accused man held by a sect is flogged with a whip after being recaptured.

At the Chateau d'If prison, Edmond Dantes receives yearly brutal floggings at the hands of the sadistic warden, Armand Dorleac.A much clearer picture (below) is now to hand, from a different penitentiary museum, or possibly the same one.

At any rate, it has been claimed anecdotally that films such as this are occasionally shown to older students and/or to juvenile offenders as a warning in Malaysia, as they are known to be in Singapore. And this June 2005 news item reports that "a video of prisoners being whipped" was shown to visitors to an exhibition in Sabah, and that the video had been approved by the Ministry of Home Affairs to deter the public from criminality. Conceivably this was regarded as a substitute for doing the actual flogging in public, which had been mooted in early 2004 for child-rapists, but not proceeded with. (Contrary to popular myth, there has never been public JCP in Malaysia or Singapore, or at least not in the past century or so, with the limited exception, in Malaysia only, of some canings of "juvenile offenders" under 21, carried out in open court -- see these notes.)
