A cane in terms of punishment has come
to mean any flexible yet stiff rod of any material, usable for striking
a person. It may be made from any suitable material including reed,
rattan, cane (e.g. sugar cane) and nylon. Bamboo is NOT a good material
because of its tendency to splinter and to transmit disease easily.External links
