Judicial Corporal Punishment Of Women: Stories And Novels

Go to CruxDreams.com
Hi I’m in the process of writing a little interactive story on CHYOA about judicial punishment.

Use the customise tab to enter your name (or anyone you’d like to see punished)

https://chyoa.com/story/A-judicial-punishment.13953


If I may ask, why, if you are coming here, do you plan to post the story on another site? Why not post it here (you can of course post it there also)?
 
Apologies. The reason I posted the link rather than writing here was the interactive nature of the other site.

You can do interactive stories here too. Some have done them. Just write a chapter and invite people to do the next one.

I began this thread with the book by Wilhelm Reinhard "Nell in Bridewell: Description of the system of corporal punishment (flagellation) in the female prisons of south Germany up to the year 1848", 1900 ("Lenchen im Zuchthause", 1840).
As Jon Smithie wrote (http://www.cruxforums.com/xf/threads/mina-berkeleys-voyage.6240/post-378393), his story of Mina was influenced by P.N. Dedeaux's "Clotilda". In turn, "Clotilda" (Part 2, Judicial) was written under the influence of "Nell". Now I want to expand the topic of Germany, repeating "Nell" (with the selected chapters) and adding a few more stories.

"Nell in Bridewell"
Ch. 7 - A pseudo-pregnant woman, birching
Ch. 8 - Mina, birching
Ch. 12 - Sabina (Helena's friend), flogging with the bull's pizzle
Ch. 13 - Helena (the main character), flogging with the bull's pizzle

"Torture Of The Tawse" by A de Granamour
Prussia, 1739, during the reign of Frederick William I, the soldier-king.
"The ailing soldier King of Prussia, in his dying days wreaks vengeance for his disabilities on all who surround him. Hapless young girls are tortured and whipped into submitting to the Sapphic pleasures of the sadistic matrons of the terror filled Kurzwald prison. King Frederick's own 'interrogation' rooms echo with the wretching screams of victims, both guilty and innocent, at the very whim of his confidantes. Ingenious devices are employed to secure the prisoners for their pitiless punishment and sado-erotic fruition of the sentences."

Ch. 4-9 - Punishments in Kurzwald prison

Thanks for posting these latest stories. I rediscovered "Nell of Bridewell" in my downloaded stories collection a few days ago when I was re-reading "Clotilda." I hadn't read "Nell" all the way through. So I finally did, but actually I think I did as much skimming as reading. Good lord, there is a lot of dry discussion of penal theory and whatnot in that book! I wonder if the author included all that so he couldn't be accused of just writing porn. Or maybe, like me, he just gets off on too much back story, lol. I think you've picked out the best parts. "Anne of Wulfstedt" is a good Rollin Hand story. He tends to be a little light for my taste. He usually contrives for the punishment to be in some sense consensual, as he does here, and almost always includes an over the knee spanking which does nothing for me but hey, whatever. This is very similar to his "Island Justice," which, I think, was one of the first birching stories I'd read, and may be a tad less consensual than this.
 
From “The Signeury” by F.E. Campbell, сhapter 3, “The Cart's Tail”.
Sabina's public whipping behind a cart's tail. A very impressive description.

As always, Elephas, thanks for posting.

This was of great interest to me since my own "Mina" was sentenced to a cart tail whipping as is Sabina in this excerpt. So I have to admit that this was a bit of a disappointment to me. Sabina's whipping is a contrivance. It's a masque. She has contracted to do this, so it's basically consensual. Her reactions to the whipping raises a bunch of distracting questions for me: Did she not ask exactly what she was contracting to do? Have the people she contracted with exceeded the terms of the contract? Does she not have an out--like a safeword? Why doesn't she get out of character during the whipping? Why doesn't she scream that she didn't agree to this and she wants it to stop? Sure, they might ignore her but for Sabina to demand that they stop seems like a natural reaction under the circumstances. So, as I say, distracting questions that detract from the action, IMHO. Also, the mention of the amount of money she's getting for her whipping doesn't sound like a whole lot. Five thousand dollars in today's money just gets you the cart and the donkey. Believe me, I know.

I agree that Sabina's punishment was part of the game. Let's return to "true" punishments. Here is a poetic description of the whipping of three female Quakers in Dover in 1662.

"How the Women went from Dover" by John Greenleaf Whittier (1892)
http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/hampton/poetry/dover.htm

The tossing spray of Cocheco's fall
Hardened to ice on its rocky wall,
As through Dover town in the chill, gray dawn,
Three women passed, at the cart-tail drawn !

December in New England-the whipping might have been welcome just to get the blood flowing....

OMG! Do I understand correctly that this poem is very much based on an actual event? Wow.

How can we not love this part:

Bared to the waist, for the north wind's grip
And keener sting of the constable's whip,
The blood that followed each hissing blow
Froze as it sprinkled the winter snow.


And this:

Once more the torturing whip was swung,
Once more keen lashes the bare flesh stung.
"Oh, spare ! they are bleeding !" a little maid cried,
And covered her face the sight to hide.


When are they finally going to invent a time machine so that I can back to those days? :devil:
