The Gift Ch. 02 - Prison Life

6:30 came soon enough for Catherine Tuesday morning. She awoke in a daze, having been processed into the prison system Monday. She was stripped search; the prison officers searching all of her body to check for contraband, even though they knew she had none as a reporter doing a story on prison life. Then she was made to march buck naked to a solitaire cell for her first night in prison. Why had she decided to do this? Simple. Though she knew it would be hard, she was for justice, and she wanted to see another side of the justice system. Besides this would show critics and other reporters that she was capable of doing hard stories. She was always being accused of being nothing more than a pretty face, even though she graduated Harvard with high honors. Now she sat all alone, naked, in a solitary cell. She rose from the bed, went to the sink and brushed her teeth. She splashed some water in her face and prepared for her first day among the prisoners.

7:00 the prisoners went to the cafeteria to get breakfast. Catherine did not join them on this first day, she was served breakfast in her cell. At 7:45 the prisoners went to their work stations, including the ones that were scheduled to go to class where Catherine would be teaching them some basic reading and math skills.

Catherine wondered how she would be treated, when suddenly her prison door opened. A female and male officer were there to greet her, the male officer being Bob from the day before.

Step outside.

I don't have any clothes on.

I said step outside.

Catherine stepped out of her cell. The catcalls and wolf whistles began.

Look at dat nice shaven pussy.

Come here sweet pussy

The officers handed her a green jumpsuit. After Catherine slipped it on, she was given some sneakers to put on.

This way.

Catherine was escorted to her classroom. When she arrived to the classroom Louise, the female officer addressed her.

This is the classroom you will be at for the next two weeks. You will have 15 students, no more at any time. You will have an officer watching you at all times. Bob will be here in the morning, Raymond in the afternoon. You will also be watched at lunch and dinner, and at night, plus when you are in the shower. It's for your safety. If somebody tries something, one of these strong men will be at your side in no time flat. This morning you will be teaching fractions and decimals to these women. These girls do not even have a high school diploma, you can help them get a GED and from there they can learn a trade, or if they're fortunate maybe go onto college. Time to get started. Good luck.

Catherine entered the classroom and 15 pairs of eyes latched onto her with very suspicious eyes. Catherine recognized Lisa and Cindy from yesterday.

Good morning ladies, as many of you know I'm Catherine Boyd, and I'm doing a report on what it is like to be locked up. Obviously I won't be able to get a full experience in two weeks, but I do hope to get some insight on what it's like to be incarcerated. For the next two weeks I'll be helping you to obtain your GED and I'm looking forward to working with you.

Bravo sweetcakes, Bravo. U jist lookin fawad to helpin us out. Ain't that sweet of u, one of the prisoners retorted.

Shut up Mary. She is trying to help us. It was Cindy, one of the prisoners who demonstrated to Catherine what she would be going through in the strip search and the delousing process.

She went through the strip search and got deloused like the rest of us who ended up in this joint. She didn't have to, but she did anyways to see what we all had to go through.

Thank you Cindy. This morning we are going to work on fractions. Let's start with what a fraction is. You have all heard of a half, haven't you?

They all nodded yes.

Ok, say you buy a pie and you want to serve half of it. It is written out 1/2. The one is the numerator, and the two is the denominator. This confused the ladies and Catherine had to show them what this meant. It wasn't going to be easy, this teaching assignment. Some got it quicker than others. After about two hours, most of them had an idea of the basics. They then took a break and started to learn how to add fractions. It came very clear early to Catherine that they were poorly educated, and this would make it difficult to get through to them. This would try all her patience, teaching was indeed hard work. When lunch came, Catherine was relieved. Besides she was starving.

Lunch was a bowl of broccoli cheese soup, plus a ham and cheese sandwich. It wasn't the best, but it was food. After all, this wasn't a three star Michelin restaurant. It was also the first time she ate with the prisoners. She was studied by all of them.

After lunch, English was the main subject for the afternoon. Catherine decided to see what they knew. She asked what a noun was, a verb, an adjective, and an adverb. Some knew, some did not. Catherine went over the basics, and some of those were able to get it, while others did not. Catherine spent the rest of the afternoon in basic writing skills. At the end of the day, Catherine was exhausted. When the classroom ended most of the classroom went to the exercise room. Catherine decided to join them. Although not like the fancy gym she worked out in New York City, it did have stationary bicycles, along with treadmills, and Stairmasters. Plus there were weight machines. Catherine warmed up on one of the bicycles, before doing some jogging on one of the treadmills. She worked up quite a sweat.

Lookie at Miss Universe, she got herself up a little sweat.

It was Mary, who had greeted her with another dose of sarcasm. Beside her were two other inmates who snickered along with her.

Catherine ignored them the best she could. It was time for dinner.

Dinner consisted of roast beef, scalloped potatoes, green beans, and a hard roll. There was a small piece of yellow cake for dessert. This wasn't the kind of food that Catherine ate, she tended to eat salads and lots of vegetables. She limited her meat to fish, sometimes she would have beef. But she had to eat what everybody else ate. It also wasn't the best, but she was famished after a hard day's work along with a workout.

After dinner she was led to her cell, where she found out that Lisa would be her roommate for the next two weeks. The cell had two small beds, a toilet, a sink, and two shelves for personal items for each inmate. Lisa was rather quiet, so Catherine picked up a book to read. Lisa left her alone until about 8:30 when she mentioned that she was going to take a shower. Then Catherine remembered what the warden had told her, that she wanted her to shower every night, so the inmates could see her nude.

Are you going to shower tonight, Catherine?

Yes, in just a bit.

Lisa went out of the cell and stripped out of her jumpsuit and put on her shower shoes. Catherine watched as Lisa walked to the shower room nude. She was a pretty girl, about 5'7", slim build with small tits and a nice ass, that had a nice jiggle when she walked. After about 5-10 minutes, Catherine decided she better go for her nightly shower. Besides she needed it.

She stepped out of her cell, took a deep breath, and pulled down her jumpsuit. Already eyes were looking at her nude body. She began her walk to the shower room. Inside it was crowded; Lisa was there, as was Cindy. Unfortunately so was Mary and her two pals.

Catherine was looking at Lisa, as the soap was cascading down her slim body. She was taken aback when Mary shouted, "Look at that bare mound on Miss Mighty". She snickered along with her pals.

Catherine held her head up high as she went to one of the empty shower heads. She turned the water on, it was nice and warm, and she was able to adjust so it could be even hotter. Even though she had her back to everyone, she knew all eyes were on her. She turned around and let her hair get wet, along with her backside. It felt good. She poured out some shampoo on her hand and lathered it up and started washing her hair. Then she got some bath gel, put it on a sponge, and started washing herself. All of the prisoners watched her as she did this, many of them enjoying it. This made her nervous; she did her best not to show it. She continued to shower, not hurrying, but being deliberate, to show that she would not be intimidated by the prisoners. Finally she finished and walked to dry herself off. As she was drying off she noticed Lisa and Cindy. The two of them bid each other goodnight. Lisa was given a clean jumpsuit, however Cindy walked back to her cell in the nude. There were other prisoners who were walking to their cells nude. Catherine asked Lisa about it. Lisa told her that some of the prisoners slept in the nude; Lisa said she did sometimes also. Then Catherine was asked if she wanted a new jumpsuit or if she would sleep nude. Catherine reported curtly that she would take a jumpsuit. With that she followed Lisa to her cell. There was small talk between the two until 10:30. Then the lights went out and the cell doors slammed shut.

Wednesday was similar to Tuesday. There was some progress, albeit little in the math department. The English skills were getting better. After classroom, Catherine went to the workout room. She worked on the treadmill and did some light weightlifting. Some of the other prisoners lifted heavier weights, those women just snickered at Catherine. Catherine could feel that if they could get her alone, they would have their way with her.

Supper came, it was spaghetti. Just some bland meat sauce with not much meat. Catherine would just have to get used to this. After dinner she went back to her cell. Lisa was already there.

Thanks for what you are doing, Lisa told Catherine.

I'm trying my best.

You're doin a real good job...i ne'er had much of an education. Dropped out in 10th grade.

Why did you drop out?

Boyfriend. Stupid boyfriend. He's what got me in trouble. Petty stuff at first, then real trouble.

What are you in for Lisa?

Car theft. Chop shop. My boyfriend got 10 years, I got 30 months. Been here for little over a year. Don't want ta ever get come back here.

If you stay away from the wrong crowd you won't. Where are you from?

West Virginia. Little bitty town you never heard of. Just coal, and a lot of bars. Not much goin on thar. Dead end place. Lots of guys don't live long.

What are you going to do when you get out of here?

Not sure, maybe beauty school.

Does the prison have any kind of schooling?

Yea, I'll be able to go to the school in just a couple of months. If I do well, I'll get parole after dat

You will, Lisa. You're very pretty Lisa. Keep yourself clean, and you can find yourself a better boyfriend than you had before. One that's honest, hardworking, and law abiding.

Thanks. But I'm not as pretty as you.

Don't put yourself down. You are very attractive. I've got to go take a shower.

I'll go with you.

You don't have to.

It'd be better if I did.

Mary or some of her gang might be there. If I can be there, and they give you problems, I can maybe tak to dem. Keep em cool.

With that Lisa walked out of the cell, stripped out of her jumpsuit. She said to Catherine to wait a couple of minutes before she went to the showers.

With that Lisa walked nude to the showers. Catherine couldn't help but admire Lisa's body, she had a lovely ass, that had a nice jiggle to it as she walked. After a couple of minutes Catherine stepped out of her cell. She took a deep breath, dreading what she had to do. But she knew she had to do this, to find some camaraderie with the prisoners. With that she took off her jumpsuit stood in front of her cell nude for just a minute, then calmly walked to the showers. She didn't walk hurriedly, nor slowly. All eyes were upon her as she walked to take a shower.

When she arrived at the showers it was crowded and everyone turned to see her.

Lookie here, The Princess has arrived. Make room for The Princess. Slowly the shower room parted a path for her to walk to a shower head. Bodies brushed up against her as she walked to her shower head. Though it disturbed her, she wasn't going to let it get to her. She pretended not to notice.

She turned on the water, it felt good, as the warm water cascaded down her body. She faced the wall with her back to the prisoners, though those at her side got a good glimpse of her.

It was time for her to get her hair wet for her to wash; now she would have to face the prisoners. As she did this, everyone looked at her and her nude body. She looked at them, and titled her hair to get wet. She started to shampoo her hair, afterwards she rinsed. Then she used some body shampoo and started washing herself. As she did this, Mary stood 4 feet in front of her. Mary started playing with her own pussy, rubbing it and sticking a couple of her fingers in it. Catherine looked at her and ignored her.

That'd be a pretty pussy to play with. How'd ya like a tongue licking it sweetie?

Leave her alone Mary, one of the other prisoners retorted.

Mary get out of the shower, Amelia the lead corrections officer shouted at her.

Mary just stared at Catherine meanly as she stormed out of the shower.

See what i mean, said Lisa.

Catherine and Lisa left the shower together and dried off.

As they stood nude waiting to get clean jumpsuits, Lisa asked Catherine if she minded if she slept nude tonight.

I sleep nude lots of nights. Would that bother you?

No, not at all, though Catherine wasn't comfortable with someone sleeping nude next to her in these circumstances.

Oh, I don't think I will tonight. With that both put on me jumpsuits and walked back to their cell. Catherine read a book and Lisa played solitaire. Catherine was wishing she could have a massage. Ten thirty came, cell doors were slammed shut and lights went out.

Thursday was the same as the other two days. Even in the short time she had been in prison, Catherine could feel the monotony of prison life. Same routine. But something different happened in the shower facility when Catherine showered there that night. She was facing the wall, when Mary snuck up behind her. Four of her gang, two on each side of her so there was a block. Mary grabbed her behind, and started to grope her pussy. The others started grabbing her breasts, and one covered her mouth, but Catherine bit here and started screaming. In a flash, Jim, the black male guard came in and rescued her, carrying her over his shoulder. He carried her back to the processing center and the warden was summoned immediately.

Who attacked her?

Mary and some of her gang, Jim reported.

Bring them in here immediately. Catherine go finish your shower in this room.

Shaken, Catherine went in and finished her shower. She had tears streaming down her face. The hot water did feel good.

Catherine, when you are finished, go into this other room, it's very warm in there, you will be comfortable.

The warden instructed that Mary and the four women who attacked Catherine be put in solitary confinement for the next two weeks, and then transferred to a maximum security facility. The warden wanted to let the other prisoners know what would happen if there were any other attacks on Catherine.

When the warden summoned Catherine she asked if she was ok and wanted to continue.

Although very shaken and visibly upset, Catherine said she wanted to continue.

Alright, but first I'm going to have the doctor exam you, make sure there are no internal injuries. Then I'll have you transferred to the medical facility, you'll be in a private room, and you will be under heavy guard. I don't want anything to happen to you.

Dr. Sherman arrived. He was a tall, thin man. He was older, had a shock of white hair. He asked Catherine if she was ok, and that he would examine her, with the warden present. Catherine nodded and managed a small smile.

Dr. Sherman preceded to inspect Catherine's body.

Are you sore, Miss Boyd?

No, not really.

I don't see any bruising. Walk back and forth for me.

Catherine walked back and forth.

Any sprains, or do you feel anything broken?

No, I'm just shaking.

That's understandable. That's quite an ordeal you went through. Now I want you to lie down on that table over there. I'm going to look inside your vagina, just to make sure there's no damage.

Catherine laid down on the table.

Ok Catherine I'm going to look inside your vagina now, spread your legs.

Catherine spread her legs, as she fought tears coming down her face. The kindly doctor gently pulled her labia apart and with a flashlight looked into her vagina.

Looks like everything is ok. I'm going to take your temperature. I'm going to take it in three places; your mouth, your anus, and your vagina. I want an accurate reading.

Catherine opened her mouth and the doctor placed a thermometer in her mouth. Then he had her turn over just enough to place another thermometer in her anus. Finally one was placed in her vagina. After about three minutes he removed the thermometers; first the one in her mouth, secondly the one in her anus, finally the one in her vagina.

Everything is normal. He handed her a handkerchief to dry her eyes.

I'm sorry about the invasion, but it was necessary. I'm going to take your blood pressure.

Blood pressure is good, especially what you went through.

She needs to go the the medical facility and get a good night's sleep.

I was going to do that. Thank you doctor.

Thank you Doctor, Catherine said.

Here's a couple of Advil for you to take.

The warden got Catherine a glass of water, and Catherine took the Advil.

The Doctor bid goodbye and left.

Catherine are you sure you want to continue?

Yes, I'm not going to let someone like that bitch put me off course.

I admire your courage. I'm going to have two female guards escort you to the medical facility, you'll be given a private room. You'll be escorted nude, the room will be warm. You will be given a new jumpsuit in the morning. You'll eat breakfast in your room, and I'll make sure you have the necessary toiletries sent to you.

Thank you, Warden.

The two female guards came and escorted Catherine to her private room.

The warden called The King.

Your majesty, Catherine was attacked while she was taking a shower this evening.

Is she alright?!

Yes, Jim rescued her right when it happened. She's in a private room this evening. She wants to continue with the assignment. Those who are responsible are in solidarity confinement and will be transferred to a maximum security prison as soon as possible.

I'll want to speak to Jim and commend him for doing a great service. Any other attacks and I will ask that she be freed immediately.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, I'm going to put her with two cellmates, two cellmates that can be trusted. I'm hoping this works out, she can do a wonderful service for the girls that are open to changing their lives.

I understand. But any attack, and I'll pull the plug. I'll want to talk to all of the male guards every day.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Catherine slept well that night. The bed was comfortable, she hadn't slept that well since she had arrived. Catherine got up, looked in the mirror. She brushed her hair, she had been disheveled due to her ordeal from the night before.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Breakfast is served. The warden wanted you to have a real good breakfast. Scrambled eggs, fruit medley, which included pineapple, cantaloupe and strawberries, plus a blueberry muffin.

The warden told me to tell you, not to tell the other prisoners what you are having for breakfast.

Don't worry I won't.

With that, Catherine attacked her food. Never had a breakfast looked so good. There was a lot of it, and she ate every bit of it.

After she had finished the warden came by to see her.
