One form of punishment in the 1930's was Lynching, which is an execution carried out by a mob. It was usually by hanging the person, but also burning at the stake or shooting. It was done whether or not the person had a trial. Lynching was done if black people were accused of rape, attempted rape, robbery, or second degree murder. Mobs would drag the person from jail and lynch them, they didn't care, and they would have no fear of conviction for it.

In the 1930s, punishments for black individuals in the United States ranged from unfair incarceration rates to harsher penalties for minor offenses compared to their white counterparts. Additionally, blacks experienced systemic discrimination in the criminal justice system, which often led to more severe sentences and limited legal protections. Jim Crow laws and segregation further marginalized black communities and subjected individuals to violence and persecution.
