Link Summary
To prevent slaves from running away, in 1690 a new slave code was made. The punishment was divided into how many times the slave ran away( First Offense, Second Offense, Third Offense, Fourth Offense...). In the 1st Offense, if a slave ran away or stroke a white person they would get severely whipped or get their nose slit. It was not only this, the slaves would get some part of their face burnt with a hot iron. If the slaves would not stop running away, death were chosen for some.
