This is something a little different: It's not a prison strip search, it's an Amish strip search. When you think of the Amish you might picture horse drawn carriages and barn raisings, but this might change your thinking.
These screen caps are from the movie "The Devil's Hand." One of six girls born on the same ill-omened day eighteen years ago are prophesied to be the vessel of the Drommelkind, the devil. When they turn eighteen Elder Beacon,(Colm Meaney) searches each of them for the mark of the Drommelkind. Mary Brown (Alycia Debnam Carey) is being inspected. If I were doing the search, I'd probably find marks of the Drommelkind all over her body.
What happens next??? you ask (or at least Tree does): Well, Mary is found to have the marks, is then branked so she can't curse anyone, and is bound neck and heels until a whipping frame can be constructed, in order to flog the devil out of her.
