Jakarta, Indonesia - A Public Flogging: A Glimpse into the Past of Indonesia's Criminal Justice System (circa 1910s) This haunting image captures a moment in time from Jakarta's past, when public floggings were a common form of punishment for criminal offenses. The unlucky recipient of this punishment, a chained prisoner, is seen here tied to a tall frame, his buttocks exposed in preparation for the lashing to commence. The scene unfolds in the bustling streets of Batavia, now known as Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. The use of public floggings as a form of punishment dates back to the Dutch colonial era, and was a spectacle that drew large crowds. The practice was intended to serve as a deterrent to crime and to maintain order in the colony. The tall frame, known as the "pandanus tree," was a symbol of authority and was often used for various forms of public punishment. The prisoner, dressed in traditional Indonesian attire, appears resigned to his fate, his expression a mixture of fear and resignation. The chains that bind him to the frame serve as a reminder of his captivity and the power of the law. The crowd that gathers around the scene, some with expressions of shock and disbelief, others with looks of curiosity and amusement, underscores the public nature of this punishment. This image offers a glimpse into a time when the administration of justice was a very public affair, and the consequences of breaking the law were on full display. While such practices may seem barbaric by modern standards, they were an integral part of the criminal justice system in Indonesia during the colonial era. Today, Indonesia has made significant strides in reforming its criminal justice system, and public floggings are no longer a part of it.
