Crime and Punishment in Modern Singapore

[montycrusto]

I have to apologize. A temporary (I hope!) problem with my hard drive has made accessing the second part of today's post impossible. I hope to have the problem solved soon.

Barb crashed your computer?? She’s got talents, that one

Barbara is the kind of girl that will always come out on top!

I have to confess, I only had eyes for Barbara. Who were the others again? The only other character I noticed was Rose Lin.. I enjoyed her bit-part very much..still kind of hoping she and Barb get chained together in a chain gang of two, and ordered to perform menial labour in public. Careful with that broom-handle, Rose!

Bravo Mr Praetorio, I salute your literary talents, you deserve a more attentive readership than the likes of me

Great story so far. Please continue with the impalement sideplot. I would enjoy this even more!

Thank You. I only meant that Barb's court ordered punishment was over. The story is due to continue for about a week Moore.

not a fan of the bad guys but how else would Barb gets what she has earned?

 

[montycrusto]

Define menial labor, please

Something strenuous, boring, repetitive and low-status... I’m sure there must be some gents toilets that need scrubbing..

Barbara has to be the favourite with her propensity to get into situations resulting in drastic punishments and then to talk herself into getting them increased. The judge was an interesting character,have we seen the last of her ? I hope not. I suspect that Carrie and Dao have still have roles to play in Barb`s future discomfort. Ten days recovery does not seem very long when your buttocks have been turned to raw steak but hey ho.
All in all an excellent story with a number of well developed characters in it. Thanks and keep up the good work

Barba is a slow learner but a quick healer. Note how many times she's recovered from death or even non-lethal crucifixion.

Ten days? Yes. If she can stay out of trouble that long.

[montycrusto]

[Praefectus Praetorio]

Normally, I'd expect Barb to screw up in less than two days. But as she's bedridden for a few days and has sworn to good behavior, I'd expect more like five days. (Unless the Judge visits her. Then all Bets are off!)

Are you trying to voice scepticism with a visual image?

Now, I think I definitely detect a note of sarcasm.

Common Guys! Let's all pull together for Barbara and wish her an uneventful ten days and a safe trip back to Minneapolis (without the remote possibility of parachuting out of the plane onto a remote desert island where the natives practice strange and kinky rituals with women who fall from the sky before they impale them). Ignore that, pilot for Singapore, Part Two.

Who was my favorite ? Barbara her ass was the main event ,

Barb’s ass counts as two characters

I think the cane's impact was vividly striking and truly cutting edge, and the stand provided able support and helped to push Barbara to where she needed to be.

Punishment Infirmary, Changi Prison Complex 3:05 PM - Day One of Detention

Since Barb’s legs were trembling uncontrollably, the guards took her by the arms and literally dragged her from the chamber, back down the hall, and into the infirmary. They laid her face down on an exam table. Her wrists and ankles were strapped tightly to the corners. Not as a punishment, but to keep her still while the Doctor worked on her. Prison rules specified no analgesics or other relaxing drugs for the first 24 hours after caning. The authorities wanted the criminal to fully experience the pain of their just punishment.

The guards left, leaving Barbara, loudly moaning with pain.

Dr. Liú gently cleaned the cuts. But even with great care, Barb screamed in pain and jerked in her restraints as the disinfectant was applied. Liú left the wounds uncovered to dry and covered Barb, who was now shivering violently with special sheets and blankets with cut-outs for the buttocks. The Singapore authorities thought of everything.

“You need rest very much. I will check on you at one hour.”

“Please! give me a shot – some pain killer – please – make it stop hurting!” Liú explained the rules which drew a long wail of despair, but no complaint from Barb. She was too weak for more.

The Doctor knew the effects of the stimulant injection were still causing Barb’s mind to race and the pain to intensify. In an hour, it would have worn off and she could possibly hold a conversation.

An hour later she returned, and, checking her patient, she found more normal, though still elevated, blood pressure and pulse. Barb asked for some pain relief, and the doctor had to again explain the rules. Barbara started to curse this time, but then halted. She was trying to observing her own resolution to complain less.

The doctor left to allow Barb to rest. Two hours later she returned.

“Handsome, young gentleman from Embassy here to see you.” Dr. Liú said.

Jeffrey’s cheerful voice came from behind the privacy screen, “Hay, Barbara. May I come in there?”

Even exhausted and in agony, Barbara already was forgetting her resolution. “Fuck No, you idiot! I’m naked! Do you think I could get dressed right away?”

“I’m so sorry, Miss Moore. I can talk from here.” He was surprised that she was still so feisty after that ordeal. “I wanted to talk about plans for your remaining time in Singapore.

“My REMAINING Time!! I plan to get out of this fucking hell-hole as soon as I can walk and go home!”

“Ahem. Of course. There are, however some issues with that and I want to discuss how we can help you.”

“What issues?”

“You do recall that the Judge ordered that the jail/prison authorities could keep you in custody, for up to ten days?”

“Oh my God! I’d forgotten. TEN more days here??? Isn’t there something the Embassy can do?

“Not about the number of days,” said Jeffrey apologetically. But we can help about where you spend them.”

“Where?’

“Yes. I have spoken to Dr. Liú, and, with our encouragement, she will require the authorities to allow you to stay here in the infirmary under her care for three days. At the end of that time you will be returned to the general population. I have arranged for you to spend that time at the jail, rather than here in the prison. Believe me, you don’t want to spend even one day in the general pop here!”

“Ok, I guess. Is there no way to get out early? Good behavior?”

“I’m afraid not, though I’d recommend good behavior anyway.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be on my best.”

“Wise policy,” said Jeffrey.

“Anyway, it’ll be easy to fool these morons.”

“Ah…I’d be careful about that, Miss Moore.”

“Oh, alright, Jeff. Can I call you Jeff? We seem so close now.”

Well, it is a bit informal…but I suppose so,” stuttered Jeffrey as a vision of Barb’s welted ass dancing and pumping erotically flashed in his mind. "I…I really must leave now, but I will visit you once a day, I promise.”

“Thank you, Jeff. I know that I can count on you.” Despite her pain, Barb remembered Jeffrey’s tousled hair and broad shoulders, hmmm!
