After a modernization of the hole prison system A
new governor has taken over the prison
and implemented some changes. All prisoners have to wear the
national standard prison uniform The sorting detail
retains a little of their former privileges in that they get
to wear the male version of the uniform: both a shirt and
trousers along with wooden shoes. They also get to keep their
hair as long as it is cut above the shoulders.
However, in addition to their usual duties collecting clothes
confiscated from new arrivals, they also have to work four to
six hours daily at "hard" labor. This usually
involves spreading gravel or light hauling. During this labor
they must also be shackled, with removable leg irons.

Megan,
Heidi, and Emma
(the former sort detail secretary),
goes to work for the first time under the new order.
The stiff cotton uniforms feels scratchy against the bare skin,
no longer been allowed to wear confiscated t-shirts, panties
or silk underwear underneath.
Walking barefooted in wooden shoes and in leg irons proves
very distressing for Heidi and Emma. Megan who previously
had been used to much worse, tolerates it better than
they do. |

As for the
normal prisoners, they are wearing the new standard female
uniform.
This consist of only a shirt and wooden shoes and
permanently fastened shackles.
They are now shorn at arrival and required to be permanent
bald. They are shaved again every 14 days, the rest of their
lifes.
These women work at hardest possible slave labor for 16 hours
every day, seven days a week. |

Could
that be Romana, their former comrade? The number on her left
arm say it is!
She had left the sorting detail recently. They hadnīt really
missed her. They thought her family had bribed her out.
Looks like they instead has stopped paying so as to be rid of her forever!
Emma and Heidi really hopes, their parents can
afford going on paying for them.

"Twenty
years of hard labor! Take her away!
Bring in the next case?"
Carrie is in a state of shock! She canīt understand, what is
going on. She just intended to take a swim before breakfast. Early
in the morning the beach usualy was empty, and Carrie loved having
it all for herself. She liked being all alone and had
always disliked crowded places. She would spend the last days of
her vacation doing nothing els than relaxing. Monday she had to be back at
the office, where she was employed as a trainee.
This morning The beach was however not completely
empty. As the young girl in her bikini and with a
small towel over her shoulders, came walking
down the path, she was stopped by two policemen, who asked
for her passport.
It, of course, lay back at the hotel.

 "Can
you tell me when we will get something to eat?"
It is very early next morning.
A
gang of prisoners are selected for a "camping trip"; actually a
forced march to an off sight work detail for three months.
Heidi and Megan stands lined up beside the chained row consisting
mostly of starved and worn-out slaves.
The girl nearest them however still looks clean and healthy.
Itīs a new girl. She arrived only yesterday. She tells
them her name is Carrie and keeps on comming with questions.
Heidi and Megan can only ignore her. The cane will soon enough
teach her to keep quiet
Megan, Heidi and the others in the sort detail have regained a small
piece of their former privileges. Theyīre still required to wear
the standard uniform, but
thereīs no rule (at least not an enforced one) about
modifying and converting pieces of the regulation
shirt and pants into whatever they want, regaining them at least
some of their personality. When fitted with leg irons, they
are also allowed to put on bandages for protecting their ankels from
abrasions.
