JohnS47:
The best collection of these type stories I've ever read were in a book called
Shades Of Singapore, but its not set in Singapore. Its a fictional memoir of a nun who was a nurse in colonial South Africa and whose job it was to check and make sure that all women who had been sentenced to a judicial caning were fit to take the punishment, in which she often participated in with great delight. So if anybody really wants to read some great judicial caning stories that are very interesting and well written, I would imagine the book is till available on line
John you are correct.
Shades of Singapore by
Angus Balfour is available from
triplexbooks. Now I have this book in both digital and paperback, but I just can't get through it.
Problem with Shades is that it's extremely repetitive. Each chapter is another court ordered punishment, but... but the differences in each punishment are so small it's like reading the same punishment over and over...
37 times!
Now, I admit the first few chapters of Shades are OK and probably worth the $2 from Triplexbooks. It's the remaining 35 chapters that lack creativity, imagination, or even a simple story line.

PS: My recent
Orange stories are clearly judicial in setting although the severity of the discipline is somewhat muted. Nevertheless, you will not want for creativity or a story line.
