Portuguese term or phrase: processos punitivos praticados através dos suplícios físicos
Hi everyone! I'm translating a series of academic abstracts and am not sure how best to translate this phrase. Thanks for your help!

CAMPO TEÓRICO E ALGUNS ASPECTOS DO CONTROLE SOCIAL PENAL


RESUMO
Este trabalho problematiza a reflexão teórica sobre controle social, a partir dos poderes instituídos nas sociedades capitalistas durante os séculos XIX e XX. Enfoca a trajetória que perpassa a velha Europa, desde os ***processos punitivos praticados através dos suplícios físicos*** até o surgimento das penitenciárias modernas. Em sociedades cada vez mais invadidas por valores próprios do sistema capitalista, o poder é exercido mediante máquinas e tecnologias que organizam diretamente a cultura e a subjetividade (em sistemas de comunicação, redes de informação etc.) e os corpos (em sistemas de bem-estar, atividades de lazer monitoradas, etc.) no objetivo de um estado de alienação.
Palavras-chave: Controle social, punição, disciplina, repressão.

English translation:punishment by physical torture
Explanation:
I don't think you need to do a full literal translation. In your context, you are simply contrasting the two extreme forms of punishment.
