This is a secondhand account of a punishment that may or may not have occurred at Freemore Academy, a women’s correctional school for delinquents aged eighteen to twenty-two years.

Kate stops to take another few drags off the cigarette, and Jane keeps things going for her. “So, the period ends and Mrs. Goshen gives Kirsten a Red Card. You probably read about them in the handbook, but I don’t know if you’ve seen one in person yet. I’d say that I hope you won’t, but everyone gets one eventually.”

“Anyways, the Red Card is red, obviously. It’s this thick piece of cardstock with a form on both sides that the teachers fill out if they think you need to be punished outside of class. The top front of the card is sort of like the Monopoly Go to Jail card. It says in real big letters ‘Go straight to the office and wait quietly in a box’.”

“‘Cause in the office, they have these little wooden cubicle things. It’s just a small doorless booth you walk into. There’s a light above so you can’t, like, hide in the shadows or whatever. There’s a sign in front of you that tells you to wait with your hands folded in front. And the office has a few boxes, too, so multiple girls can all wait at the same time. Depending on the infraction, you usually show up like Kirsten with your skirt already pinned up.”

“Sometimes it’s worse, though. Sometimes a girl arrives without her panties or even stark naked and has to wait. Do you know Clarice Burns? She’s super pale and has this jet black hair and big angel wings tattooed on her back. Anyways, Clarice started a fight in the showers last year and Mrs. Damon sent her straight to the office in the nude and dripping wet, even.”

“And all this waiting takes place in the main office, so new students are coming in, cops are coming in, the fucking UPS guy is coming in. There’s teachers and other students going in and out. And you’re just right out front and in full view. And they all know that you’re in trouble because above the boxes is a sign that reads ‘The sinful shall be punished’.”

“Besides that, the card also lets the teacher select what the office should do to a girl. Like, if she’s going to be spanked, ya know. The teacher selects what the girl’s to be wearing, what positions she’s supposed to be put in, and what the office is going to spank her with. And the back has all kinds of other punishments on it. Some of them are bad, like mouth soapings, and others are worse like enemas. And of course, there’s a blank spot for the teacher to write in if they want an off the book punishment because they really don’t like you.”

“Oh, after she gets to the office? Well, she waits for a while; it always feels like an eternity. Then she gets tapped by Ms. Murphy, the secretary, and there’s this little behavior review thing they do. I think it’s really part of the punishment, though, ya know? They pull you into a back room and you have to go in front of an admin committee. I guess it's supposed to be the Principal, the Vice Principal, and a senior teacher, but I think they just grab whoever is around. First, you give them your Red Card. But before they even read it, and regardless of the reason for the punishment, they always start with a Purity Search.”

“They pull your panties off - if you have them on - and put you in all these really exposed, awkward, and uncomfortable positions. Think on your back with your knees by your ears or bent over doing a half-split. Then these three old guys spread your pussy open and they’re all going ‘hmm, it sure looks like she’s aroused’ or ‘I think she needs to shave a bit closer’. And the whole time, they’re all just stroking your clit and between your pussy lips and poking at your asshole while you’re spread like a lab frog.”

“I mean, I could never cum like that, but could you imagine if you did?” She trails off for a second before clearing her throat and continuing. “Anyways, after the Purity Search, you have to kneel on this little pillow. And while you’re kneeling there with your skirt pinned or naked as a jaybird or whatever, you have to plead your case or defend yourself.”

“Right, you basically say that you didn’t actually do whatever the Red Card says or you beg them to not punish you. It’s a total sham, though. I’ve never heard of a girl getting a Red Card without being punished. And I think sometimes if you defend yourself, instead of honorably taking your punishment,” Jane makes air quotes as she says ‘honorably.’ “I think that can get you a worse punishment. No one but the admins really know, though. Most girls won’t talk about their punishment.”

“And so, afterwards, they take you to another room and punish you. There’s a lot of scolding beforehand, and they take your picture a bunch of times. Like, they say it’s for legal purposes, but I think it’s just because the admins like to jerk off to pictures of undressed, crying girls. After the punishment, they tell you if you’re on restriction or whatever and then give you a hall pass back to class. Oh, if you came in naked, they give you a paper hospital gown that doesn’t even close all the way in the back to wear until you can get your clothes back. It’s just so, so humiliating.”

“Oh yeah, Kirsten, sorry, I kinda went off on a tangent. So, Mrs. Goshen pulls Kirsten out of the corner and gives her a Red Card. Well, she doesn’t give it to her, she pins it to her shirt with a safety pin. Oh, I forgot about that part. They do that so everyone in the halls knows you’re on your way to get punished. If she’s naked, the girl wears the Red Card on a string like a necklace. And I also like to think that she took Kirsten’s little prefect pin and threw it away.”

“No, I don’t know what her punishment would have been,” Jane says. She looks at the other girls. Judy shakes her head and Kate shrugs while taking another puff.

“They probably would have had Nurse Banister shave her. Sometimes they will do that if they think a girl needs to be taught how to shave properly. She’s actually really nice and gives you tips on what the admins are looking for and how to prevent razor burn. But usually they just tell you to go back to your dorm that night and shave yourself. Like Kate said, though, if Kirsten had a lot of hair down there they wouldn’t have let it slide.”

“Otherwise, I’m not sure. I mean, on the one hand, it was the first time she had ever been punished. On the other hand, the teachers must have had it out for her and her shitty attitude. I know the other students did. She was slated for a spanking at least. Oh wait, Samantha LaTrobe. You’ll know Lil’ Sammy when you see her. She’s four foot nothing and has this cute pixie cut. She failed her first Purity Search a few weeks ago.”

“Yeah, she was necking with a girl before class and her pussy was as hot as a pistol when Mr. Carver spread it open. She got a naked paddling until she bruised. They also apparently spanked her pussy with a leather strap until she was screaming and bright red down there. I guess she couldn’t hold her position after a while and two of the admins had to hold her legs up and apart. You just know she got extras for that. Other girls say it only went that far because Sammy called Carver a perverted shithead in front of his whole class because he spent so much time checking her for stubble.”

Kate and Judy are all giggles before Judy finally breaks in. “If Kirsten had just gone to the office and gotten her punishment, we probably wouldn’t even be talking about her all these years later.”

The other girls stare at her blankly for a few seconds. “God, you’re such a little bootlicker, Jude,” Kate says.

Judy scoffs. “I’m not a bootlicker, and you know I’m right.” After a few more moments, the tension ebbs and she continues. “Anyways, Kirsten decided that she wasn’t going to go for a punishment. I don’t know if it’s because she still thought Daddy would come to the rescue or what. Instead, she left the room all contrite and then ducked down a mostly empty corridor and took off the Red Card and threw it away. Can you imagine the gall? She took it off and threw it away. After that, she unpinned her skirt and went to her next class like nothing happened.”

Jane bums a hit off of Kate’s cigarette. “And that’s when shit really got crazy.”
