Punishment book
A punishment log (also called punishment book) is a log where punishments are recorded. Such logs are (or were) sometimes kept at schools, boarding schools, in reformatories, prisons and similar institutions. An example is the punishment book of Johann Häberle (17th century German teacher).
Some parents also keep private punishment logs in a diary or similar notebook (punishment diary). Today, you can even find punishment logs on the World Wide Web, for example at the SWL Punishment Logs page.
A spanking log is a special case of a punishment log, used in cases where most or all punishments are spankings, or where only spankings are considered worthy of recording.
