This is a steel engraving of people being punished in a prison in Jamaica in 1837 when slavery had officially been abolished, but during the period of apprenticeship. It is from James Williams's, Narrative of Events since 1st August 1834, a compilation of evidence about the effectiveness of ending of slavery. Harsh treatment and oppression of the enslaved continued. The punishment treadmill (which produced nothing, making the punishment even harder to bear) was also used in British prisons at this time. Prisoners were forced to walk the treadmill for hours at a time.
