12 years in Stoney Mountain with ( good part) 10 strokes of the lash

Ok in todays Winnipeg Sun they have this great article. Brandon is part of the story as one of these crooks was caught here.
Two armed robberies and the judge threw the book at them. That is cool. In fact the sentence was far longer that anyone would get now.The first received 12 years and 10 strokes of the lash. the second 10 years but the same number of lashes.
What I never knew until that article and yes its only one source but lashes were part of a jail sentence in Canada!!
Cool. So History buffs I ask- when did they stop that practice??
How can we get it brought back into practice? It certainly would make these seasonal three meals a day regulars think twice!!
