Crime and Punishment

Colonial Americans did not have HBO, bowling or shopping malls. So what did they do for sport and entertainment? Well, they spied on their neighbors, of course! We examine punishments for law-breakers and the tools used to carry out these punishments. Everyone in the audience is a criminal, so BEWARE, and sneak a peek into punishments, colonial style, if you DARE.
