How are children punished in cotton mills?

In the past, children working in cotton mills often faced harsh punishments for various offenses, such as being late or not meeting production quotas. Common forms of punishment included verbal abuse, physical beatings, and being locked in dark rooms or confined spaces. The extreme working conditions and lack of labor laws meant that many children endured long hours of toil under the constant threat of severe discipline. Such practices have since been outlawed in many countries due to reforms in child labor laws.
