Rope is cheap. There's no reason to house murderers and rapists.

they were hanged, whipped etc. seems there was less crime then

There was also less population back then, with a stronger social fabric. It's the same reason there is, generally, less crime in rural, small town America than the big cities. Social pressure works pretty well by itself when the community is small enough, and geographic mobility is limited, like it was before the 20th century.
