Strap: CANADIAN PRISON Strap | BARGAIN Punishment Strap| with Minor Defect | Heavy Impact Toy | for Experienced Players

   Starting around 1900, straps like this replaced "cats" in the Canadian Federal and Provincial Prisons and continued in use for more than 70 years.
The dimensions we use for the Prison strap ( 3" wide x 29" long x 1/4" thick with 3/8" diameter holes) were taken from a photograph of the original object in the hand of a Warder.

    The size and thickness are consistent with the goal of intimidating violent felons in adult prisons ... and with the descriptions of the damage with only five or ten strokes. This estimation fits the descriptions of the Canadian Prison Strap provided by prisoners.
Naturally, in consensual play, a "Punisher" might not use quite the full force that the Senior Warders of a more brutal age would have employed.

    However ... it is difficult to ignore corpun.com's documentation. While prison officials may have minimized the size of the Canadian Prison Strap to mollify anti-corporal punishment reformers, it is equally likely that prisoners would have exaggerated the brutality of their punishment.

     Bargain Canadian Prison Straps are "seconds", having minor cosmetic defects that don't affect their function.
