I've 'heard' that after about twenty 'professional' lashes each subsequent stroke feels like it's going to kill. People get right in the mind after that. They'll tell you sorry and it comes from the heart. They'll confess their sins and I believe they mean it when they say they won't ever do wrong again.
Country's been too damned long without punishment that's meaningful.
I've actually been bullwhipped, and can confirm that assessment.
