Unfortunately, washing lashed backs with brine or hot pepper juice was a well-known 'additional' punishment levied on flogged slaves in the American South, whenever the punishers felt like the slaves deserved it, or looked at them wrong, or if the slavers were just having a moment of pure fucking meanness.
Fuck.
Reading of slave punishments should be required reading like the Holocaust.
