<<<Delaware did not abolish the pillory until 1905.>>

I am not so sure that it was a good idea to abolish public punishment. Would it not be good to place someone in a pillory for stealing a car, public drunkeness, or other minor crimes, rather than place them in jail for a number of months to learn how to be a better criminal. Just a thot.
