NELL'S FAREWELL FROM THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION

Today we are pleased to post a story submitted by one of our frequent commenters, bripuk.  I really like what he's done here.  He took the story from Nell's Farewell and did his own version of the story.  It's a far, far easier read than my translation, yet I believe he's captured the essence of the formal punishments dispensed by the House of Corrections.

Formal Welcome to a House of Correction

You'll probably recognize the image above, as I've used it as a "tease" in another post.  There is, however, a slight difference since I modified the original drawing.  Challenge for you is to see whether you can find my modification. (To make this task easier, you should click on the drawing to view full size.)

  

Anyway, in this post I plan to talk about Formal Welcomes to a House of Correction.

 

Just Another Day in the Sewing Room

Coming up with an image to depict what my story is about always makes for a challenge, except in this case!  For this story the image came first, as I was challenged to write a story explaining what's going on in the drawing.  My story then represents my interpretation of the events taking place.

Obviously, there is an unlimited number of interpretations of the actions depicted in this drawing.  What we'd like to hear is YOUR interpretation.  You can post as a comment or email me at:  tiredny@hotmail.com

Nell in Bridewell - Part 8

Here is the final part of Nell's Farewell and indeed, it includes Nell's formal Farewell from the House of Correction.  It's significantly longer than the other parts, but there is a lot more going on coupled with lots of comments from the female spectators.

Nell in Bridewell - Part 7

Again a brief recap:  We've just completed Fritz's "Welcome" to the House of Correction.  Fritz, of course, is Lottie's lover/ex-lover and it was Lottie's plan to set fire to her Uncle's house that landed them both in prison.  Now, it's time for Lottie's formal Welcome to the House of Correction.

Nell in Bridewell - Part 6

Again a brief recap:  Nell learns that her formal "Farewell" will be "moderate" and will be carried out at the same time as the "Welcomes" for a young arsonist and her lover.  At the very end of Nell's last letter, we learn that Nell has been charged with dispensing the Welcomes for the two young people.  This was a "twist" that I never saw coming!

As for how Nell's Farewell compares with that postscript in both Nell in Bridewell and Lenchen in Zuchthause, the huge difference is the formal Farewell.  In all of these, Nell gets a pardon and a release from the House of Correction.  Only in Lenchens Abschied, however, is Nell subjected to that formal Farewell.

Nell in Bridewell - Part 5

Just a brief recap:  so far, we've heard that Marie has obtained a pardon for her good friend, Nell.  Now, we hear from Nell on just how the pardon and Farewell will play out.

Nell in Bridewell - Part 3

As promised, in this part we'll share what we know (and it's not very much) about Lenchens Abschied or Nell's Farewell - An Addendum to Nell in Bridewell. (Click on the image to see FULL sized)

Nell in Bridewell - Part 2

Those of you who have downloaded Nell from Library Genesis are probably wondering:

1.  which version did I get 

2.  what am I missing 

3. what is the relationship between the English and the German versions

Nell in Bridewell - Part 1

Nell in Bridewell is one of the earliest and best examples of judicial corporal punishment in the English language, but... it is more than that! Indeed, there is so much going on in Nell that it is a fascinating read. Above are the covers for the two versions of Nell for which I am familiar.  At one time or another, I had in my possession a hard copy of these, but I never owned both versions at the same time.

Carry Out the Sentence

 

Today we are pleased to introduce a new author to Strict Spanking Stories, Kenny Walters.  Now for those of you who actively seek out spanking stories, Kenny is not "new" at all.  He is a most accomplished writer and the owner of the Over the Desk story site.  If you've never visited Kenny's site, I encourage you to stop over. 

While our focus on SSS tends towards the more strict or severe cp, Kenny's focus is Realism.  Specifically: "Realism is a key feature of our stories, whether or not they reflect what is actually happening in the world today...  Punishments should be realistic. Excessive punishments do not work for us."

Kenny's story is a great fit for SSS and we encourage him to write more "judicial" stories.  At the same time, I enjoy a good school spanking story and will continue to savor the good stories on Over the Desk.

Orange Turns BLACK AND BLUE - Part 2

 

Author's Note: While I have “dabbled” in Judicial Corporal Punishment, I consider myself more of a generalist. When I think about JCP, I divide it into two categories:

 Punishment awarded by a judge or magistrate

 Punishment awarded due to a failure to follow prison rules and regulations

I have little interest in the first category with one notable exception.  That would be the “Welcomes” and “Farewells”. Actually, these kind of fall into the cracks between the two categories, because... they are neither awarded by the court nor are they due to misbehavior in prison. In some respects, these are similar to School Corporal Punishment, where teacher(s) sentence(s) a delinquent to multiple detentions!  Since a student can only attend a single detention, the additional detentions are erased with strokes of the paddle, cane, strap etc... Note that the teacher(s) did NOT sentence the miscreant(s) to corporal punishment; it came about strictly due to school rules based upon the number of detentions.

So, the second category above, where punishments are awarded in reformatories due to misbehavior, I find most compelling.  Similarly, I like school paddling stories where punishment is “earned” either by misbehavior or poor scholastic results.

This brings us right to “Orange”. “Orange” is my attempt to weave these two ideas together into a single storyline.  Don't know if I've pulled it off successfully, but it has been fun!

In PART 1 (click here) you'll see that punishment dispensed to delinquent prison inmates is with a high school paddle!  In this part, you'll see some “refinements” of the AAP punishment program, but nothing really radical. (This part is also considerably shorter, because all the “scenario setup” - characters, AAP rules, and procedures, etc. - was done in Part 1.)

Belgravia: Another Side – Part 2

 

Authors Note: Thus, this is not a stand-alone story. You must read Part 1 in order to understand how the characters got into this situation. Next, the drawing above depicts a "Welcome" to a penal institution, and one occurs at the very end of this part. 

How Women Were Flogged in Russian Prisons

I admit that the illustration above is a tad misleading (click on the drawing to see full size).  It came from a book published in Germany in the year 1898, two years before this letter was publish. Nevertheless, it accurately depicts the typical discipline dispensed in prisons ruled by autocratic regimes at that time. Now the letter itself is dated July 25, 1880, but was publish in a book written by a Frenchman named Jean de Villiot in 1900.  There exists a very old English translation, but I've only seen fragments of it. What's posted here is my translation and while not perfect, I believe I've captured the essence of the good doctor's letter.

Justice Weekly

 

For 26 years from 1946 until 1972, Justice Weekly numbered among the tabloid press published in Toronto, Canada. While included in the sensational press, Justice Weekly was quite different, truly unique and never replaced. (Click on the pic above to read clearly front and back cover.)

Corporal Punishment was included somewhere in each issue – sometimes it was buried in an article or two, but frequently in the letters section. Mostly the focus was domestic, but not exclusively.  For example, there were numerous letters about the Toronto Women’s Reformatory, Andrew Mercer.
