As expected Daisy was soon back on her hands and knees on the rough concrete of the scrubbing area. The now familiar instructions were delivered.
"Right children in the next six hours you will scrub your lane so that all of the yellow colouring is completely from your lane. Remain on your knees at all times with your uniform always ready for inspection. Do not speak unless spoken. Any transgression or idleness will earn you the strap at least," the supervisor instructed. "Fill your buckets and begin work".
Six hours of relentless, laborious and degrading work followed. As in the days before the rough concrete scraped the skin from Daisy's knees and her sweated clothing rubbed her skin raw. Every move was painful and arduous. A couple of times she experienced the humiliation of having her skirt lifted as she worked and the strap applied to encourage her work. Finally she reached the end of the lane and knelt hands on head before the order to stop. Everyone had reached the end of the lane and the further inspection did not reveal any failures to remove the dye. Today there would be no further beatings on the scrubbing yard.
Daisy was returned to her dormitory and the now increasingly familiar regime which her misbehaviour had earned her. She had been allowed to go to the toilet this morning so as she queued she knew that it would be in vain.
"Douglas used the toilet this morning and you have no hygiene privileges so return to the end of your bed." Although Daisy was dehydrated by her hours of marching, display and labour she still wanted to use the toilet. She knew that another night at least of discomfort clenching to prevent herself from urinating now lay ahead.
Everyone stripped as ordered with the exception of Marianne Peters and Daisy. They then both endured the discomfort and yet further humiliation of having their mouths thoroughly scrubbed with carbolic soap in front of the other girls whilst standing hands on head. Daisy was made to swallow the soapy contents of her mouth by the ever vigilant Mrs. Saqib.
Finally Daisy was secured in the security belt, her arms bent and angled so that her sleep would be uncomfortable. Mrs. Saqib tightening the knot of her tie even further so that the collar of her shirt bit even further into already red raw neck.
"Into bed," Mrs. Saqib directed them. "Absolute silence girls, stay in bed and no fiddling with yourselves".
The lights were switched off and the dormitory door closed and locked leaving the internees to sleep in the dark cold confines of their dormitory filled with the smell of body odour carbolic soap and toilets.
The following days and weeks piled on Daisy's suffering and humiliation. She tried to focus on making no errors which could worsen her position. Occasionally however as she lay constrained in her increasingly fetid uniform she cried at how she had been so stupid as to allow her uniform not to be correct.
The routine of lessons, scrubbing the concrete, drill and inspection, gruel and water only to eat, unchanged uniform, limited toilet use, thrice daily mouth washings, hands locked in restraints every night added to by her twice weekly bare bottom slipperings, weekly public display and enforcement of her punishment haircut by yet further clipping in front of her dormitory.
However the regular visibility of the consequences of misbehaviour to other girls who failed in anyway ensured that the primary fear remained avoidance of yet further punishment; these consequences were even more severe for girls like Daisy who were still serving punishments for previous offences.
During her fifth week of punishment Daisy had with the rest of the institution heard announcement and application of punishment to Clarissa White. She had been serving two weeks of punishment in winter uniform for failing inspection (like Daisy leaving a button undone on her gingham dress) when she had then left a button undone on her institution tunic. She was to wear winter institution uniform -- wool socks, woollen knickers, shirt, tie, front and back buttoning tunic (like Daisy's), waistcoat and two cardigans, no hygiene privileges, one toilet visit per day, hands to be cuffed at night and on Sunday to go on public display, two hours drill and inspection per day, hand strapping four times per week on her dormitory, punishment haircut all for 8 weeks. Her sentence was extended from 4 months to 8 months. She received 4 strokes of the strap to the palm and back of each hand followed by 8 strokes to her bare behind in front of the institution. Recommendation on file that she continue to wear uniform of some nature upon return to work.
Daisy's suffering was without any form of remission at any time. For the seventh time she marched into the local town on her Sunday public display. The previous two weeks had at least been somewhat cooler making the journey less arduous and uncomfortable.
Despite this the unwashed material of her knickers rubbed at the weals of her previous night's slippering. She concentrated to ensure she did not make any sound as the pain rose through her body with each step. The humiliation of standing on display as the parishioners entered followed together with the tedium of the service itself.
Daisy and her fellow offenders were then again ordered into position all with hands on their head to be inspected and displayed as the attendees left the Church.
Her status was then harshly brought into focus as one of the parishioners nonchalantly asked the supervisor how given so many of them were here for uniform failure was detection of future failure enforced.
With this Daisy together with another girl, surname Tedford, were told to step forward and ordered to strip item by item. About twenty people stood and watched as they removed each humiliating item of their similar uniforms. Daisy suffering the indignity of bending double to undo the buttons on the back of her tunic skirt. Finally they were both left clad only in their shirt, tie, knickers, socks and shoes, hands on head with for Daisy the extra humiliation of having her second pair of knickers stripped to her ankles and left there.
Mr. James who had voiced his ideas of how Daisy should be punished after her release from the Institution on the first week of her public display appeared again. As before Miss Davis was talking with him.
"I assume that photographs of this inspection will be posted for this girl's' colleagues to see -- both for her punishment and deterrence?" he asked Miss Davis whilst pointing at Daisy.
"Well not of this specific event necessarily but we of course do have pictures of her in uniform and it is for the Release Conditions meeting to decide if we would recommend that any of these be made public as part of the process," she replied.
"Do you think it would deter you from a repeat of your failed behaviour to have your colleagues see you stripped and stood like this in public girl?" He asked directly of Daisy.
