Here is the English translation of the provided text:
The world only knows Tilanqiao, but not the Tianmen Learning Institute.
The Tianmen Learning Institute is the country's first modernized prison... that's right, in the past, such places weren't called prisons, but jails. The environment inside wasn't as spacious or bright as portrayed in TV dramas, and there was essentially no concept of humanitarianism.
There were many measures in place to minimize overturn rates in the jails back then—things like directly beheading inmates, exiling them to Lingnan or Ningguta, sentencing them to forced labor, or beating them with dozens of paddles and then releasing them immediately...
Rarely did anyone actually stay long enough to face execution after autumn.
