Probation Strap (S111) -Extreme-
Handcrafted in the USA, designed to please and built to last.
This is a shorter version of our historically inspired Canadian Prison Strap. It is made with a Russet Stiff sole bend leather blade with a burgundy handle The dimensions of the Probation strap are 3" wide x 23 1/2 " long x 1/4" thick with 3/8" diameter holes.
(This design USED to be 30" long ... but Postmaster DeJoy, in his infinite wisdom imposed a surcharge on "long things" ... $7 for 20 - 29 inches $15 for 30"+. SO, if you want it "a little longer" MESSAGE us. We'll build ... you'll pay.)
Prison officials have testified that punishment with the Prison Strap was, "rehabilitative, not resented" by the prisoners, and was certainly neither, "cruel nor brutal." By statute, no more than 15 strokes could be inflicted for any one offense --one count of Forcible Rape or Robbery with Violence, for example. After the First World War, the recorded practice was to administer no more than six strokes at any one time and rarely to impose more than 10 for any given offense. However, some prisoners testified to receiving beatings which left them lame and bloodied.
