Governor Baldwin of Connecticut urged harsh penalties including whipping posts and sterilization in a speech to the governors conference in Richmond. He contrasted the classical school of penology with reformist ideas and warned that ignoring such crime provokes lynching and fear among women in the south and north.
Governor Baldwin argues for limited corporal punishment and tailored penalties within modern penology. He endorses whipping for certain juvenile and adult offenders, prefers shorter, certain sentences over indeterminate terms, and cautions against mere imprisonment as a substitute for education and reform. He cites public justice and deterrence as guiding aims.
