She had done it about ten times before finally getting caught. Now she was paying for her sins. It was a victimless crime, Danielle thought, and she didn't fully understand what the big deal was. She didn't have a health insurance policy and needed to be seen by the doctor for her own wellbeing! Now she and her friend were accused of insurance fraud. Danielle should have confessed to being the sole person responsible for the fraud rather than allow Jennifer to get dragged into this, but the prosecution had decided on their own that Jennifer should rightly have noticed charges and doctor's visits on her insurance statements. Her failure to report suspicious activity and her closeness to Danielle pointed to her collusion in the fraud. In a private arbitration between herself and the state, Danielle was ultimately found guilty of insurance fraud, possessing false identification, conspiracy to commit fraud, and lying to police officer. Jennifer was found guilty on lesser charges and would receive a lighter sentence.
Both women were sentenced as non-violent offenders and brought out of arbitration in handcuffs to be fitted with chastity devices to begin their sentence of sexual deprivation.
"I'm so sorry, Jennifer," Danielle whispered as they sat on a cold bench, waiting to be processed. The room they were held in was populated with a few other people, all sitting with their hands cuffed; none of them looking confident about what was going to happen to them. A young girl of what appeared to Danielle to be no more than 18 sat with tears streaming down her face, and a middle-aged biker-looking guy appeared to be furious rather than subdued after having been convicted of a crime. Danielle considered her friend and thought Jennifer looked pretty furious too.
"This was the final straw, Danielle," Jennifer replied coldly. "Since we were children, you have always had a selfish streak. If you want something you can't have, you'll do whatever it takes to get your way, even if it means using and harming your best friend! To hell with the consequences! We're finished, Dani!"
Jennifer was the first to be escorted away and she disappeared through a set of metal doors, presumably to be fitted with a device and released. Danielle continued to wait her turn with her hands cuffed behind her back. Her mind kept wandering to the five years worth of orgasms in the sexual prime of her life that would forever be lost to her as a result of her choices. She felt a deep sense of guilt for Jennifer's situation, but her own situation was much worse. Jennifer would be released from her belt in just one year.
"You're lucky to have this opportunity," a female guard said, interrupting Danielle's thoughts. Danielle must have been looking very melancholy for the guard to have said anything at all. She had been otherwise quiet, allowing the offenders to stew in their own misery before being locked into their sexual deprivation devices. "Back in day, they'd just throw you in a little cell and let your brain rot for years on end." Danielle smiled at her and nodded her head.
"You're not wrong, ma'am. But I'm sure going to miss my orgasms all the same." Danielle was well aware of the bullet she dodged by having been convicted
after
the prison reform laws went into effect. Productivity was very important in Danielle's society and a working citizen was far preferred over an incarcerated one. It was for that reason that sexual deprivation for non-violent offenders was derived as a punishment in the first place. Maintaining the privacy of an offender's conviction and punishment was likewise a top priority to the department of corrections because it reduced the possibility of offenders becoming unemployed or socially ostracized. The goal was to punish and correct, not to destroy. That being the case, Danielle could move freely through society with only a handful of people knowing the secret she would be hiding under her clothing.

"Alright, let's go, Marcan," the female guard finally said "One of the technicians is ready for you."
The tall brunette stood upon hearing her last name and allowed herself to be led through the metal doors, into to a room that looked like it was a cross between a workshop, a gynecological exam room, and a fitting area. It was cold and impersonal, with an industrial scent in the air, likely from the chemicals that were used to construct the belts. Danielle shuddered when her gaze fell on a rack that held belts of all different shapes, sizes, and colors. Most of them were in gray or black, but some were in skin tones clearly meant to conceal, and others were made in shades of bright pink, neon yellow, and even glittery rainbow patterns. Inner torment or even mercy was clearly a part of the punishment that was factored into the design of each belt. What kind of person would be forced to wear a glittery pink cock cage? Her mind immediately went to the biker-guy in the waiting room. Danielle shivered at the thought of very soon being locked up in one of those devices and hoped that her crime did not warrant additional elements or eye-catching colors. She was led to a small dais where she was uncuffed and told to disrobe completely.
This is it,
she lamented as she stripped and kicked her clothing off into a little pile.
She covered her body with her hands as best she could, and man approached her with a laser wand. He was on the younger side, and wore a wrinkled, plaid button down shirt, a pair of khakis, and his hair was somewhat unkempt with wire-rimmed glasses.
"Arms out, legs apart," he directed her. He didn't even say hello, or discuss the process with her before he had her naked body under his scrutiny.
A beam of light was projected across her body and between her legs, and a 3-D image of her form popped up on a screen at the man's workstation. A robe and a chair were provided for Danielle and her hands were resecured behind her back while the technician, who eventually identified himself as Mr. Young, quickly went to work designing a device for her specific form.
