To mamabearcali,
Not a stockade, it is called stocks. A pole/post in the ground with a crossbar at the top. A persons hands are placed through a hole on each end of the crossbar, and held in place. The person is kept in a standing position, or if they get really tired, hanging by their wrists.

Re: "Sliders" a growing problem
I guess I am getting too old to read this type of crap.
Why is everyone spending time worrying about locking your car each and every time you get out of it? When I grew up, the rule was if it is not your, keep your hands off. Not just off, but OFF and away from it. I support dropping the people reaching in.
To show how twisted my thinking has become, what about bringing back the stocks. Catch someone doing something wrong (hitting a woman, abusing a child, stealing something, etc.) slap them into stocks on the courthouse lawn. Keep them locked up from 24 to 120 hours, based on a sliding scale. When I say locked up, I mean locked up. Rain, shine, cold, heat. No bathroom breaks, only unlocked three times a day for 15 minutes for meals. If you make a mess in your pants, you just live with it until your sentence expires. Other people are free to stop by and make fun of you, but now be allowed less than ten feet. Can't have anyone slip someone some extra water.
You go through this, you might change your mind about how you act, and not want to go through it again. If you screw up again, double the number of hours you spent there the first time. Every screw up equals a doubling of the time.
I would also suggest that any lawyer that somehow gets a person off, and that person becomes a repeat offender within a 120 day period, must also spend the same amount of time enjoying the same facilities.
Wow, looks like I need a nap, or a few adult beverages.
