What is a set of rules that says how enslaved people should behave and punished?

A set of rules that governs the behavior and punishment of enslaved individuals is often referred to as a code or system of enslavement.

They were used to maintain control and exploitation of enslaved individuals by establishing boundaries and enforcing obedience through punishment.
