Law no. 3,310 of 15 October 1886 revoked provisions imposing the sentence of lashes on enslaved defendants, including part of the 1835 law that had imposed this punishment for certain offenses. It required courts to use other criminal penalties, including imprisonment. This narrowed a brutal legal exception but did not abolish slavery or end violence inflicted outside the courtroom. The change came amid rising abolitionist pressure and an increasingly unstable slave regime.
