In this episode, we dive deep into the historical roots and ethical complexities of physical punishment, exploring how societal and economic factors shaped its use on slaves and criminals. We examine why imprisonment was once reserved for the elite, the moral implications of fines and corporal punishment, and how ancient laws aimed to balance justice with humanity. Join us as we navigate the nuanced interpretations of historical texts, including the controversial law in Exodus 21:20-21, and the moral dilemmas faced by societies striving to enforce order while preserving human dignity.
