As with all new ideas, what would later be called the "The Tier III Male Offender Accountability Act", or popularly "The strike three law", was meet with laughter and ridiculed at first. Stripping a three-time male offender naked, legally forbidding him the wear clothes at all, and then forcing him into chastity seemed just stupid and crazy at first. But as the crime rates rose and high end upper-middle class areas was plagued with burglaries and violent armed robberies, the idea slowly started to gain traction outside of the hard-on-crime populist right.
So, when "The Tier III Male Offender Accountability Act" passed into law fifteen years ago it was with wide bi-partisan support, even among the moderate center-left parties, and the only opposition was on the far liberal left.
The reasoning behind the law was that a third offence showed a pattern of willful disregard for ethical and legal responsibility, and to enforce the convict into a lifestyle of subordination, by putting him on public naked display and taking away his sexual privileges, would serve as a form of civil re-education and break his pattern of repeated offence.
There were some voices who wanted to include the female population in the law but given that the majority of repeated offenders were male, and that studies showed that forced nudity and chastity would have best effect on males, this discussion quickly died away.
As for the majority of the population, I had been on the same journey, from mild skepticism to stanch supporter. At the time the "The Tier III Male Offender Accountability Act", I had just turned thirty, my career in the corporate world had begun to accelerate and I had just landed a middle management position in a renowned software company, and as a white law-abiding male, I never thought that this law would ever affect me personally. Of course, as a gay man, the prospect of having naked men running around in public certainly played in on my support.
The first version of "The Tier III Male Offender Accountability Act" put a high bar on when to strip a man of his clothing and sexual privileges. The law only applied to males 18 years or older, sentenced the third time for a crime with a minimum sentence of six months in prison.
The third time offender would then spend the entire prison sentence, and then an additional one to three months after release, naked and in chastity, legally forbidden from wearing clothes and touching his own cock. No clothes, other than footwear below the ankles, could be worn at any time. The offenders were not even allowed to be in possession of any clothing and would have all the clothes they owned at the time of their sentence confiscated and given to charity.
The only thing you were allowed to wear as a third time offender, besides footwear, was the mandatory steal chastity belt. With the belt fitted around your waist, the tight ring round the base of your cock and balls, and your cock itself sealed off in a tight metal tube, an erection would be unpleasant and nearly be impossible and so would release by touching yourself or penetrating anything.
The belt would only come off during scheduled mandatory cleaning sessions, and as a reward for good behavior the convict could be allowed to cum, in his cage and through anal stimulation, in such cleaning sessions. When the sentence was finally served, and the convict was back in clothes and out the chastity belt, he would have to watch his steps. Any new convictions would leave him naked and chaste for life.
