This is something i've been looking up myself, back in the 17th to 19th centuries, people would of hanged for this.
If you stole a cotton hankey it was 2 years prison, but a silk one and you hanged for it. _________________ love, light and truth

Been looking up old records again, if you stole one loaf of bread, then it was 6 months in prison and sometimes whipped as well.
Prison was nothing like it is now, your family had to bring your food in to you or you did not eat.
This is why so many people died in prison as they stole to eat in the first place. _________________ love, light and truth

If the teenagers had a tast of the whip, i think they would think twice about crime. _________________ love, light and truth
