"Crack!"
The saltwater-soaked whip lashed onto one of the troublemakers, and he writhed in agony, twisting his body, but to no avail.
The whips in the police station are far more formidable than those outside; these whips are specifically prepared to deal with some "unruly" individuals.
These whips are made from dozens of strips of bull neck leather.
After tanning, the cowhide becomes very hard and more resilient. These strips are about two to three millimeters wide, leaving sharp edges, and are woven tightly together.
They need to be kept at a certain humidity, not too dry, as dryness can cause cracks, and not too damp, as that would make them soft.
The police station has dedicated personnel to look after these whips, and indeed, it's worth it.
When the whip strikes a person, a "#" shaped mark forms at the point of impact, initially swelling up, and the entire wound area rises.
