Fun At His Expense
Needless to say, being confined in the public stocks makes one extremely vulnerable and at the mercy of all and sundry – that’s the whole point of the punishment!
Here we see a hapless prisoner-slave being exposed to the ridicule of a gaggle of inner-city girls and their pet dog. Firstly, we observe a beautiful, shaven-headed young woman having her spike-heeled shoes lickshined whilst she is seated in front of, and above, the kneeling prisoner-slave in the stocks. Meanwhile her good friend, a bright and intelligent-looking young black woman with pink hair, has seated herself down on top of the stocks so that she can squeeze the sides of the confined prisoner’s head with her boots and socks whilst she tucks in to some tasty junk food. Another young woman with long, black hair stands to the side of the stocks picking her nose at the prisoner-slave – a sure sign of her righteous, young-womanly contempt for him. And the girls’ pet dog stands directly in front of the stocks, growling and ready to strike should the prisoner-slave fail to show sufficient respect to its mistress’s feet and footwear!
Watching over the whole scene, and very much enjoying it, is the prisoner’s whip-carrying, mixed-race gaoler, who will, of course, do nothing to discourage the three girls from humbling the prisoner in his charge. Indeed, quite the opposite – he is egging the young women on! And rightly so – for the prisoner must be publicly humbled, in accordance with the sentence of the Gynarchy Courts.
