Book Synopsis
Every society has those that choose not to follow the laws set forth by the community. Regardless if their actions are based on greed, passion, or ignorance those people are punished for their actions. The way that Criminals have been punished has changed over time. From the time that Kentucky was a vast wilderness filled with renegades where justice was handled by the people and was instant to the time where statehood was achieved and the punishments were carried out by the courts. This book will take you through the process of punishments used before statehood, the implementation of a criminal justice system where Criminals were hanged in the street to illegal lynching's used during Kentucky's darkest times.
