... had been given the option of
corporal punishment, and she took it to avoid jail, but she was facing it with
dread.
After about fifteen minutes of driving, they arrived at a compound on the edge
of the town. It was surrounded by a fence with a gate, which the policemen
unlocked and which they drive through, the policemen closing the gate after
them. Nancy noticed a sign beside the gate which read "Exhibition Dock for
Female Convicts", with a piece of paper taped below it reading "exhibitions
today - 2; public admitted after the exhibitions start". A fairly orderly
crowd., mostly men, had begun to assemble outside the compound.
In the center of the compound was a structure about twenty feet long, supported
by several strong wooden posts, and with a roof. The base of the structure was
about six feet wide, and consisted of a platform rising about eight inches from
the surrounding ground. The platform was filled with what appeared to be clean
white sand, and in it several metal posts could be seen with chains attached to
them. Just below the roof, and running the length of the structure, was a flat

any part of her body with her hands.
Next Nancy was led out, and fastened into a similar position, facing the same
direction, such that the two women were side by side, about six feet apart.
Clarence inspected the finished work. He then positioned himself in front of
the two chained women, and addressed them.
"You ladies will now be exhibited, as you are, and we will shortly open the
gates and allow the public in. They are not permitted to touch you, and must
keep away from the dock, but they can look all they want and say anything they
want, as long as it is orderly. A guard will remain to see that nothing
illegal occurs.
"You will find that your discomfort will increase as the day wears on. It is
now just before eleven, and the day will become hotter, and so will you. You
can expect to sweat a lot. You will probably get very tired standing, and
