 Monastic confinement were prisons established by the Church in the Middle Ages for those involved in offensive acts, such as incest and magic.

The most widely used were flogging and branding, torture, servitude as galley slaves, the gallows or other forms of execution, and banishment and transportation. The medieval punishment of flagellation was the act of whipping (Latin flagellum, whip) or flogging the human body with implements such as rods, switches, or the cat of nine tails.
