Derby's dose

Derby's dose was a form of torture used in Jamaica to punish slaves who attempted to escape or committed other offenses like stealing food. According to Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 book ''Outliers'', "The runaway would be beaten, and salt pickle, lime juice, and bird pepper would be rubbed into his or her open wounds. Another slave would defecate into the mouth of the miscreant, who would then be gagged for four to five hours." The punishment was invented by Thomas Thistlewood, a slave overseer and named for the slave, Derby, who was made to undergo this punishment when he was caught eating young sugar cane stalks in the field on May 25, 1756.
Thomas Thistlewood recorded this punishment as well as a further punishment of Derby in August of that same year in his diary.
On November 18, 2013, Derby's dose came to prominence when television host Martin Bashir discredited a comparison former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin had made between the United States' debt to China and slavery. 〔http://www.eurweb.com/2013/11/martin-bashir-slays-sarah-palin-over-slavery-quip-then-gives-epic-apology/〕 〔http://www.mediaite.com/tv/martin-bashir-says-someone-should-sht-in-sarah-palins-mouth/〕
In pointing out how cruel and barbaric slavery was, Bashir used Derby's dose as an example. At the end of the opinion segment, Bashir finished by saying that "()hen Mrs. Palin invokes slavery, she doesn’t just prove her rank ignorance. She confirms if anyone truly qualified for a dose of discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, she would be the outstanding candidate.” 〔http://www.mediaite.com/tv/martin-bashir-says-someone-should-sht-in-sarah-palins-mouth/〕 Bashir was criticized by some for this and ultimately resigned, though exactly to what extent this was related to his comment about Palin is unclear. 〔http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/05/business/media/martin-bashir-resigns-from-msnbc-over-palin-comments.html〕
