Synopsis

This book analyzes the history and use of the treadmill as a punishment in the American criminal justice system. The author begins by exploring the history of capital punishment and the evolution of the penitentiary system. He then discusses the origins of the treadmill, its construction, and its operation. The book also examines the effects of the treadmill on the morals and health of convicts, and concludes by discussing the future of the treadmill as a form of punishment. The author argues that the treadmill is a more humane and effective form of punishment than capital punishment, and that it can be used to reform convicts and prevent crime.
