Punishment log
From Spanking Art
A punishment log (also called punishment book) is a log where punishments are recorded. Such logs are (or were) sometimes kept at schools, boarding schools, in reformatories, prisons and similar institutions.
Some parents also keep private punishment logs in a diary or similar notebook (punishment diary). Today, you can even find punishment logs on the World Wide Web, for example at the SWL Punishment Logs page.
A spanking log is a special case of a punishment log, used in cases where most or all punishments are spankings, or where only spankings are considered worthy of recording.

Entries in a punishment log typically include:

[edit] Punishment logs in blogs
Adults in domestic discipline relationships also often maintain logs of their punishments on the Internet. See List of spanking blogs for many examples.
