Rachel's Experience on Remand.

I sat on the bench wearing a jail issue orange jump suit in the room near the court I had just attended. My wrists were cuffed to a chain locked around my waist. My ankles were shackled to a short chain between my legs. The chain around my waist was locked to a hoop attached to the bench I was sitting on. It all seemed like another part of the humiliation process that had been my experience for the last four or five days in jail.

To my left sat two other women chained like me waiting for their humiliation before the judge. I wanted to bury my face in my hands to cry but could not due to how I was chained. All I could do is sit there and wait to be brought back to the jail pod.

Another young woman was brought in and was seated opposite me. She was wearing smart pants, a blouse and a jacket. She was chained and cuffed like me to the bench. I noticed her looking at me as if to say do I know you from somewhere. A man was brought out by two officers and a short time later another man was brought in to the room. As the day wore on the two women beside me were brought away. However the woman in the orange jump suit did not return. The lucky woman must have been released while the woman in the purple jump suit came back and sat beside me trying to look stony faced but I could sense she was upset. I spotted her name was Lisa on her yellow wrist band

"Are you okay?" I whispered.

"No talking" One of the male officers shouted.

'No compassion' I thought.

About this time I noticed male inmates being brought out in groups of three and they did not return. The day wore on with regular movement of men in and out. At one stage I was given a toilet break which was quite long as my waist chain had to be removed and put back on after I was done, all to make one feel out of control no doubt. At one stage we were brought some sandwiches and a bottle of water. That meant it must be after midday as that is lunch time in the jail. Eventually the woman opposite was brought out by two officers. Shortly after another three men were brought out. There were now only two women and four men in the room.

The young woman returned and she looked distraught. I was pretty sure she was not expecting to spend time in jail. She was told to stay standing while Lisa and I were unlocked from the bench. We were brought by a number of doors and corridors to the cold grey room where I was first strip searched last Friday. A shiver went down my spine and I could feel my heart thumping in my chest in fear. We were told to stand in line in the middle of the room and remove our footwear and place them on the bench opposite. The woman in the normal clothes had to hand her shoes to an officer who put them in a bag that had a label on it. I could see fear in her eyes as she did so. We were told to remove our socks and place them in a bag.

"Inmates remove your jump suits and put them in the bag. The two of us removed our jump suits and I felt the cold of the room standing in just my underwear while the woman who was wearing purple also wore a jail white sports type bra. The young woman who had her own clothes on was then asked to remove her jacket, hand it to the officer who checked it and placed the jacket in the labelled bag. The process was repeated for her blouse and pants. By this stage I could see her eyes welling up. I had similar feelings the previous Friday and I could feel her pain.

"Remove your bras and leave your hands by your sides." Lisa had her bra off without hesitation that like me seemed to know that you just have to do it and there is no point in resisting. However the young woman started to argue and refused to remove it. The two officers said firmly to her it is a requirement to remove your clothes when ordered to by jail staff and failure to do so could result in more serious charges and sanctions. She eventually conceded her black lacy bra. Lisa and I knew what was coming next and I could see her pulling down her underwear as the order came and I did the same. The young woman watched us as a repeat order went out and she slowly pushed down her black lacy underwear and handed them over. All three of us were naked."

"Shake out your hair. James, watch the other two and repeat what they do."

The newcomers surname must be James I thought as James shook her hair out with her face showing the fear she must have been feeling.

We got to the bend and squat bit without too much drama. This was the part I hated as it was so humiliating and every officer did it slightly differently so I awaited her order.

"James we know this next bit is difficult but you have to do it. I will get each of you to do it in turn.

McPherson, bend over pull your cheeks apart and cough hard."

I did so feeling everybody else's eyes humiliating me.

"Cough harder."

I coughed again exaggerating it. I suspected I was asked to repeat just for our new inmate and to assert the officers authority. At least the worst part was over but the almost as bad squat was yet to come.

"McPherson stand up, Murray bend over pull your cheeks apart and cough hard."

I could see the shock in James face as she watched Lisa from the side while the officer stood directly behind Lisa watching her perform.

"Murray cough harder."

The cough was repeated.

"Murray stand up, James I hope you were watching as you now have to face the wall, bend over, use your hands to pull your bum cheeks apart and cough hard. Understood."

"Yes Ma'am" came the feeble reply as I could see her whole body shaking probably from both cold and fear. She bent over and looked behind her. I looked at the second officer who was watching Lisa and I as the poor girl did not need me watching her as well.

I heard the officer say "stand up" after some coughs and I knew I was going to be on show again.

"McPherson show James the squat and cough."

"I squatted down and coughed."

"Repeat it all again with your legs further apart."

I stood up moved my feet further apart, squatted and coughed.

"Murray Squat and cough."

Lisa did her bit.

"Stand up, James squat and cough"

The poor girl had do it three times before the officer was satisfied.

We all had to lift our feet together for inspection and I was expecting to be getting dressed any moment.

"McPherson, Murray put on your shoes.

We did so as the second officer requested the exit door to be opened. The door opened. I could see a naked man outside and he looked kinda cute. The officer immediately requested the door be closed but it took a little time as the naked man spotted me in all my naked glory and I could see the reaction between his legs. He seemed to be enjoying the show as much as I was as he had a very nice body. The door closed, end of show. I actually enjoyed that little surprise but would not admit it.

A radio message came through to one the officers and I heard my name being mentioned. When the conversation ended one of the officers spoke.

"McPherson can you come here a moment."

I went across to the two officers.

"McPherson, do you have clothes and property that we put in storage when you came in here last week?"

"Yes Ma'am."

"If you want it can be collected by your attorney or a family member when they come to visit and brought to your home. Do you want that done or it can be stored until you leave jail and collect it then?"

I thought for a moment and felt my stuff would be a lot safer out of here. "Yes Ma'am can my attorney collect it?"

"Yes you just need to fill out an authorisation form which I will give you in a moment."

She pulled out a drawer in the table and produced a form along with a pen. I looked through it and all seemed to be straight forward so I filled it out and signed it.

"Thank you" I said as she folded it and put in her pocket and indicated to me to return to my spot and wait. I seem to spend a lot of time waiting naked in this area. I wonder who else will come in to take a look at my naked body pretending to have another reason to be here. I could see James had relaxed a bit and had one hand covering her bald crotch while I had given up covering my lady bits as so many staff had seen them. That does not mean I like showing my rear entrance I would rather it was off limits as it is normally hidden by my butt cheeks and I would prefer it stayed that way but in this place.....

A radio message came through and the exit door finally opened. I was a little disappointed there were no naked men on display but I knew that was not going to happen. Instead I had the pleasure of Officer Swartz for company for the next while. Was she going to do another disappearing trick I wondered?

"McPherson come and collect your clothes and get dressed over there" Swartz ordered as she pointed to a chair beside the opposite wall.

She handed me two purple jump suits seven pairs of white underwear and socks, one white sports type bra, two T-shirts none of which were new and a hygiene pack.

I put the clothes on the chair and picked up a pair of underwear checked them and put them on followed by the bra. It will need adjusting I thought as it is a bit uncomfortable but its okay for now. I put on one of the jump suits which fitted better than the orange one that I had been wearing. I finished off with the shoes and socks and saw Lisa was also nearly finished whereas James was struggling with an orange jump suit. One of the officers had just been talking on her radio and called me over.

"McPherson you have a visitor and I have to bring you to her. You can leave your stuff in your cell on the way." Once I dropped off my things she hand cuffed me.

It must be Lynda I thought I had forgotten about her coming. A few minutes later I was back in the room where I had been interviewed and Lynda was there and she introduced herself as we shook hands. She looked to be about my age.

"Hi Rachel, Jules has been telling me a lot about you and your case. First of all there were three police officers searching your and only your room this morning. They had a valid warrant and I have a list of things they took for further forensic examination. A blue business suit which I though looked very fetching because it was lined inside."

"I wouldn't have thought they would take that and it was also quite expensive by my standards."

"They also took two pillows and your mattress."

"My mattress what for?" I said in surprise.

"They thought you might have fifty kilos of coke hidden in it!" she said with a grin on her face.

"I take it you are joking" as we both started to laugh.

"Actually they did but I doubt you had any coke in it."

"I might have spilled some out of a can onto it at some stage!"

She had another giggle at that.

"That's all they took from your room, more seriously they have taken your car claiming it was bought with the proceeds of crime and confiscated the money in your bank account for the same reason. We will need your help to prove they are not."

I was very angry about the car as I had only bought it a few weeks previously and there was not a lot in my bank account as a result but still I needed that money.

"I only bought that car a few weeks ago and I know where the receipt should be and the money in my bank account all comes from my salary that goes in every month which should be easy to prove."

"Did you get a loan or other finance for the car?"

"No I saved for it over the last while and it was paid for out of my bank account."

"I have just remembered I need my phone to access my bank account and that is meant to be in storage here. I signed a form today for my attorney to collect my stuff so the phone should be with it. I am not sure whether you can collect it when we finish or it might only be Jules as I named him on the form."

"We will see but if not there are other ways to do it."

"Jules said he would organise commissary money for me do you know if that is in progress as tomorrow is the day when we are allowed to order."

"You should have it by tomorrow I am told. Is there anything else?"

"A few things. I was very surprised at how calm Jules seems to be about what happened his home and I am wondering how he really is? Also I was in the jail library yesterday, it's a real mess but I was looking through the legal section and came across the legal definition of rape.

"Yes I know it go on."

Well when I was brought in here on Friday I was put through a strip search and during it the officer doing it carried out a cavity search which meant she penetrated both my vagina and anus which to me is rape?" I could see shock on Lynda's face as I said that.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to shock you when I said that."

"It's okay I didn't realised they could still do that it must have been horrible and very humiliating for you."

"Believe you me it was and I have told Jules as they showed me a warrant to do it so I was left with no choice."

"I must research that further just for my own knowledge. Have you been searched since?

"I have been strip searched which is not invasive but very humiliating about twice a day."

"What does that involve you don't have to tell me if you don't want to?"

"First you have to strip off all your clothes then you have to go through a procedure so that you show them every possible hiding place for contraband like I have to lift my breasts so they can see under them. Then you have to bend over and pull your bum cheeks apart and cough while they look at your rear."

I could see her wince when I said that but she wanted to know more.

"You also have to spread your legs squat and cough so that anything in your girly bits pops out that's about all I really hate the bend over and show my bum hole bit, I find it very degrading and humiliating."

"I would as well and that's been happening to you twice a day you must be mortified when it happens I just can't imagine doing it. Why so often?"

"Well I seem to be a bit unlucky on that front because every time I meet with anybody from outside the jail I get searched so I expect to be searched when we finish and the other place is after I use the library. I have heard if you work in the kitchen you also get searched but I don't know for certain. There are inmates who very seldom get searched if they don't have visitors and don't use certain facilities in here."

"I hope I never ever end up in jail I don't know how I could cope with that. I notice you call Jules by his first name as most clients refer to him as Mr Carson you must know him personally?"

"Yes he lives only a few doors from my home and I have baby sat Andrea and Simon regularly in the past so I know him quite well.

"I would have thought he would not let a drug dealer within a mile of his house so I take it you were in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"You can say that again up to this I had never had so much as a parking ticket or a traffic stop let alone an arrest. The other query I have is in the law library how do you find things in the library law books as in what way are they classified for search purposes. I am quite familiar with how a normal library works as I need to try and research stuff about my case?"

"I will explain but it will take a few minutes to explain properly."

She went on to give a thorough explanation of how the law library should work.

"Thanks for all your help I do appreciate it."

"I am sorry I could not bring you better news and this must be very difficult for you but I do believe we can get you out of here but it looks like it's going to take time and think positive and we will get your things back. Jules or I will see you again before the weekend and your family can visit next weekend. I must go unless you have anything else?

"I think that is all for now, I will see you again thank you."

Lynda left and I was brought to the room where I had been strip searched before. There was a different officer there whose name was Walsh. She asked me had I been searched before and after I said yes she just let me do it without interference.

I had just taken off my underwear when her radio crackled into life and she asked me to stop. I ended up standing there naked for a while thinking about my situation. I was not only stripped of my clothes but also my money, my car even my mattress. It was all gone and I am stuck in jail naked with no control over my life. I have virtually no choice in what I do and all because I got into a car with an old friend for less than two minutes.

When Officer Walsh finished talking on the radio. She asked me to continue from where I stopped. I went through the whole procedure as I did not want to bring attention to myself. She told me to dress and she then hand cuffed me and brought me back to the pod. I saw Jenny on her own so I went to talk to her for a while. The television was on in the background out of my sight but Jenny would occasionally comment about what was on. It was getting near dinner time and the place had begun to fill up. Jenny said to me.

"You're on television."

I looked round and there was my mug shot for all to see again. The news reader announced to the world that I was to remain in jail until my trial where I was very likely to be convicted of possession of twenty three kilos of cocaine. A lot of inmates turned round to see my reaction. I felt like crying but knew that I just had to keep a poker face for a few minutes and I could hopefully sneak off to a quiet spot. As the news moved on to other stories a few inmates came over to me.

"I don't know how you are able to deal with all that knowing you have no chance at trial." One said.

"A friend of mine who's kid goes to the school where you taught was full of praise for you when I spoke to her on the phone earlier and could not understand what happened to you." Another said.

Any inmate that spoke to me was very supportive one way or another and I felt like crying again for a different reason entirely. I could not get over how much support there was for me although there was nothing they could do to actually help it was great to feel the love and support.

The hatch opened for dinner service so we all got up to collect our trays. I got separated from Jenny but as I went to find a seat I saw her with three others and no seats available nearby but I found one near the back where there was nobody sitting. As I turned to sit I noticed James from the court room looking a little lost so I called her over. She gave a little smile as she sat opposite me. I noticed she had a yellow wrist band but I couldn't see her name.

"Hi I'm Rachel."

"Catharina but they call me Cathy."

"Have you recovered from this morning I know it's not easy."

"Sort of I came in this morning expecting for my case to be adjourned again and they dumped a whole pile of new charges on me that we were not expecting and the judge upped the bail by a massive amount so I am stuck here until we can hopefully get that sorted soon but I have never been in jail before so it is a shock to the system."

"They won't even offer me bail I assume you know what I am charged with."

"Outside you are all over the place you are lucky in here because you have only have the television. When I saw you first this morning I went I know her to myself and it took a moment to click."

We both had a little laugh.

"Were there others in the car with you from the all the media you would think you were alone but I seem to remember some where it said there were three in the car?"

"Yes and they are being held somewhere else by the Feds from what I hear but after this week I believe nothing that I see or hear in the media. Do you mind if we talk about something different as I like to keep my mind off my case at least some of the time."
