Dorcus Good was one of the unfortunates of the Salem witchcraft trials. She was said to be about 4 years old when she was accused of being involved in witchcraft. Although she was eventually set free, she spent months chained to the wall of a cold, dank prison. Her mother, Sarah Good was one of the first of the accusedto be hung. What was wrong with these people? Are prisons not meant for murderers and thieves or were they meant for children who don't even understand the meaning of the word crime?

Giles Corey was another of the accused who was very outspoken. An older gentleman who when accused, refused to speak on such outlandish accusations. For his punishment he would be crushed to death with the weight of boulders until he could no longer breathe. Were we not always taught to respect our elders? Was this the respect that they deserved?
