I apologise to those who have been waiting for my next story but it has been a struggle. Many thanks to Gamblnluck for giving me permission use his slave camp and other series as a background for this story. I have taken the liberty of calling those he has created in the US from within this story.
As you can see this is part one.
--------------------------------
It finally was going to happen.
After five years of watching the US system of judicial slavery and saying how disgusting the idea was, the establishment realised that the cost of imprisoning so many people was so high that the country was becoming in danger of bankruptcy.
Of course, being British there was a slant on it. Many relatively light crimes were discounted but all crimes involving damage to people were heavily fined with terms of reference to the amount of harm and intent but with a minimum of 2 years.
I was in a bar when two 'ladies' started to have a go at each other, like an idiot I got between them. "Come on ladies lets settle down. "They were really not listening and one picked up a bottle and went to hit the other. Slam. Lights out.
I came to in an ambulance. "Hello sir, are you able to focus?"
"I think so I replied slightly slurring my words."
"Do you know where you are sir?"
"In an ambulance I hope or my head is going dah dah."
"Oh, you're ok then. Bert, you can kill the sirens he's aware and lucid."
Silence descended
"Do you recall what happened sir?
"Yes. I was stupid enough to interfere and got bottled for the fact. Never let a good deed go unpunished. Oh, and it's Dave thanks not sir."
OK Dave, we will take you to the hospital because you were out of it for a "while and need to be checked out for concussion but you seem OK."
"Thanks mate I seem to have an egg on my bonce but otherwise you are right."
I was processed through the system then a copper turned up asking questions.
"Evening sir. Do you remember what happened?"
"Oh yes, I was in a bar when two 'ladies' started to have a go at each other, like an idiot I got between them. I said, come on ladies lets settle down. They were really not listening and one picked up a bottle and went to hit the other. Slam. Lights out."
"OK sir that seems to jibe with the other stories we have. Would you say that the assault on you was deliberate?"
"Oh no. it was purely me being in the wrong place. I wouldn't prosecute her for the accident."
"Well sir the night magistrate has ruled that the assault on your person causing actual bodily harm is, under the new system, actionable with a minimum sentence of two years slavery."
"What! for being an idiot."
"Yes sir. The new laws are unequivocal about it, that is the minimum she could have set. She will be in court at 10 am tomorrow, or today now. The medical staff tell me you cannot be there as you will still be under obs. so I have to ask. When she is finally convicted, she can be allotted to you or if not, sold on the public block. Would you take her as a slave sir or let her be sold?"
"What will happen to her if she is sold?"
"It depends who buys her she might be prostituted. Used as a sex toy singly or at parties or used harshly by the new owner who thinks slaves deserve whatever they get."
"What do I have to do with her if I take her on?"
"Well sir, this is a punishment so you can do whatever you want without actually causing lasting damage. You will need to get a slave owner certificate but that is not difficult and doesn't cost much, If I were in your shoes, I would take her but the choice is yours."
I thought for a while and then "OK I'll take her. What do I have to do next?"
"You will pick her up at the Processing station. All her property and any income are now yours so you will be given keys and the clothes she had on when you come to pick her up.
The sentence will be logged at the station so bring proof of identity, passport and driving license will suffice."
"Any other questions sir?"
"No, officer thanks for that."
The cop left and I spent a quiet night in the bed, as always, the nurses woke me to ask if I needed anything but I slept it off, by the morning, at 6am the ward was awake and things moving.
I had breakfast and the doctor on his rounds said I was fit to be discharged and I went home.
At 1pm a package arrived that told me about my new slave where to pick her up etc.
Linda...
Wow this has been really weird. Two bouncers were holding me Then the police and ambulance arrived. The cops told the bouncers to let me go and then they stunned me.
In the back of the van, handcuffed, I started swearing at the cop who leant forward with the stun stick and zapped me.
As they helped me from the van into the court, they warned me in a low voice.
"I should be very careful...our stuns are mild the court can administer full force ones. Now be quiet and listen."
I did as I was told, the stuns hurt.
"Linda Lovelace. You are charged with assault and ABH. The court has a mandatory requirement to sentence you to two years slavery, so that is the minimum. The police had to stun you but that isn't going to be taken into account. You will have access to a solicitor in the morning. The best he can do for you is what you have already. Behave yourself well and the Judge will hear testimony from others at your trial at 10 am. Do you understand?"
"Your honour, what has happened I didn't mean to hit him but this seems harsh."
"As the system is new, I will explain. Laws have changed in the last week and any assault that leads to injury has a minimum clause. Yours is two years slavery, there is no means by which this can change. The man you assaulted has said that it was accidental so you are saved by that.
Now, I can give you news, it might not be what you want to hear but the man has accepted you as a slave!... before you start, the other option is to be sold from the block so I see this as a positive."
Sentence is final take her away."
Fuck I'm stuffed I thought.
The warder said. "Come with me. We are still bedding in here and are taking it easy but be assured, any misbehaviour will be punished. When you are given an order obey it instantly or you will regret it."
"Hi Brenda this is Linda, for now I'll leave her with you."
"OK Sheila thanks." Strip! Brenda said to Linda.
