Judicial corporal punishment by caning is in widespread use for males in Singapore.

This is an account of its use and application. The information comes from Acts of Parliament, Rules and Regulations, photographs, diagrams, newspaper articles, books, features and other publications freely available.

The descriptions of caning and its effects are from eyewitnesses including prison staff, and from accounts of men who have been caned.

Thousands of canings are ordered each year.
