“So what are you in for?”

Nikki was having a difficult time processing everything that had happened. It seemed like just moments ago she’d been posing naked in front of Kiley in the Library. Now she stood rubbing her wrists as the door to the holding cell slammed shut behind her.

She was to her shock and surprise still naked. As were the other 3 girls she’d been brought in with. They all seemed to be processing their situation differently.

Nikki had rubbed her wrists briefly after the handcuffs had chaffed against them, but then had immediately covered herself again with her arms. The holding cell was in the corner of the room. Two of the four walls were bars. One with the door in it the other with another cell attached. The other two walls were bare cinder block. The one along the back had a toilet and a short bench. The last wall was nothing but a long bench. Instinctively Nikki sat in the corner to hide her exposure. The metal of the bench was extremely cold on her bare ass.

The petite blonde also used her hands to cover herself. She took a seat on the bench nearest the bars as she calmly looked around the room.

The dark haired Filipino girl did nothing to hide her nudity. She glanced around the holding cell and eyed the toilet warily before deciding to sit near it herself.

The redhead was still fuming. She left herself exposed as she paced the holding cell clearly to agitated to sit still.

“I can’t fucking believe they passed it!” She finally spat out. Her voice was measured but had a viscous edge to it.

“I can believe it.” The Filipino girl said almost sarcastically as she looked down at her naked body. Chessa was her name, Nikki remembered. She was in fact the girl she was thinking of from another sorority.

“This is all your fault!” The redhead surprisingly turned to Nikki whose eyes went wide?

“What?!? I didn’t do anything you guys were the ones who got onstage and started stripping!” She said defensively.

“I’m not talking about that! It was you who asked that stupid textbook question that caused McGraw to sprint out of the meeting!” The redhead stood facing her with her hands on her hips. Nikki had to admit it was an intimidating look. Her large tits and curvy body dwarfs Nikki’s more petite frame. Plus the long fire red hair cascading over her shoulders coupled with the bush to match? Nikki slid further into the wall behind her.

“He was the swing vote! If he stayed it would’ve been 50/50 and the motion wouldn’t have passed.” She again said sternly. But her face started to soften. She could see how uncomfortable she was making Nikki.

“What were you even doing out there anyways?” She asked finally.

It all came spilling out of Nikki quickly. About the initiation, and the Deltas, and the panic when she found herself onstage.

“I don’t even know what these new Judicial codes are! How can I be accused of protesting something I don’t know anything about?” She finished.

“Oh you’re about to find out.” Chessa laughed from by the toilet.

The redhead, who’d finally introduced herself as Carmen, face softened. She moved from her standing position and sat down between Nikki and Chessa.

“The new Judicial code is the brain child of that Bitch Dr. Marlowe.” She began. “Essentially it boils down to this. Every semester students get caught cheating on tests, or plagiarizing papers. Hundreds of academic violations. Also underage drinking, **** possession, hell parking tickets.”

Nikki nodded to show she followed Carmen’s line of thought.

“Essentially the University has had few options to deal with these things. Honor code violations range from automatically failing a class to getting kicked out of school. Those small crimes? University Police can either issue you a citation which by policy is capped at a max of 50 bucks or they can refer you for prosecution. If you get convicted of even a small crime like underage drinking they can’t do anything to stop you from not doing it again. Same with the honor code stuff. Enter Dr. Marlowe.”

Nikki glanced at all of the girls as Carmen paused briefly. Even the blonde girl Lana had dropped her arm from her chest and was leaving herself exposed. No guards or cops had walked by since the door had been shut to the cell. Slowly Nikki uncovered her own tits.

“The way Dr. Marlowe saw it was that whenever a student got kicked out of school it meant the University lost their tuition money. If their violation didn’t warrant getting kicked out of school then being put on academic probation wasn’t much punishment. Either way it was a lose lose for the school. Either not punish a student for cheating to keep their money, or kick them out and lose their money. Same with the petty crime. A slap on the wrist having to take an **** and **** class or 20 hours of community service? That doesn’t do much to stop underage drinking or stoners from smoking pot. Hell even only putting a hold on your account for unpaid parking tickets wasn’t stopping people from continually parking illegally.”

Carmen turned to Chessa who for about the fifth time had shifted uncomfortably on the bench.

“Will you just go already?” Lana chided.

Chessa looked at the toilet next to her and then at the open room. Finally she stood and moved over to squat above the stainless steel metal seat. Carmen rolled her eyes and continued talking as the sound of Chessa’s stream hitting the bowl filled the small area.

“So Dr. Marlowe an anthropologist came forward with all of this research about ancient cultures and using humiliation and shame as a crime deterrent. Which is what the new Judicial Code on campus is. Her theory is the best way to stop someone from cheating on a test ever again is to embarrass them so much they never do it again.”

“And by embarrass them…” Nikki asked already sensing Carmen’s answer.

“You got it.” The redhead said gesturing at her own body. “And it’s not just getting paraded around the police station naked. The Code calls for public displays.”

Nikki’s eyes went wide.

“Yeah bet you wish you’d known that was an option before your little sorority stunt.” Lana laughed.

“I don’t know… it’s a good one.” Chessa said, retaking her seat having finished using the bathroom. “Might have to loop it into our hazing process.”

Nikki didn't laugh. “So by public display…”

“I don’t know this for sure cause obviously they just passed everything…” Carmen said calmly, “but my assumption is here sometime soon we will be offered some kind of choice. Either getting expelled or public punishment. I imagine sometime tomorrow morning we’re gonna be standing naked in the middle of campus for all to see.”

“Marlowe said she was gonna make an example out of me.” Nikki said as all of the puzzle pieces fell into place. It all dawned on her at once.

“Oh don’t worry now that Carmen’s here I think the rest of us won’t have it that bad.” Lana said.

“If you consider having your whole body on display for the entire campus not that bad yeah.” Chessa laughed in response.

“Why would you get it worse than me?” Sure she’d started the protest but Nikki had been the one that had started everything just like Carmen had said.

“Dr. Marlowe is my Aunt.” Carmen replied simply. Immediately Nikki saw the family resemblance. The red hair. The striking tall figure.

“It’s gonna be really awkward at Thanksgiving this year.” Chessa joked again.

“Thankfully my Dad cut ties with her a long time ago. Unfortunately she just happens to be one of the world’s best Anthropologists… and I would also like to study Anthropology… you can see the conundrum.” Carmen’s chuckle at her family lineage was cut off as the door to the holding area opened.

“Turn around! Hands against the wall inmates!” A female officer called out as she and another cop walked in. The four girls quickly stood up and complied. As she stood Nikki noticed that between the two cops was a girl she didn’t recognize. Unlike the four of them she was wearing clothes.

It was awkward leaning over the bench as Nikki put her hands above her head like Carmen did next to her. The effect of the lean caused her ass to stick out. She was reminded that in it was the Delta brand still in permanent market.

“Take your clothes off.” One of the cops instructed the new arrival.

“Fuck you!” The girl spat. Her speech was clearly a bit slurred.

“Strip… or we will take everything off for you.” Nikki wanted to turn around and see what was happening, but the most she dared do was tilt her head slightly. It afforded her a great view of Carmen’s tits dangling below her, but not of the interaction behind them.

She heard the sound of clothes being shed and passed over to the cops. The girl continued to mutter obscenities under her breath as she did so. Finally the door to the cell slammed shut and Nikki assumed it was safe to turn around.

Now standing in the center of the room just as naked as the rest of them was a fifth girl. She was Nikki’s height with long dirty blonde hair. The dark roots made her think she wasn’t a natural blonde a thought that was soon confirmed with a quick glance at the well groomed dark bush between her legs.

Her frame was slender like Lana’s but her tits were larger. Just a bit smaller than Nikki’s if she had to guess. Slowly as she looked at all of the other girls she self consciously covered herself up with her arms.

The group stood in silence for another few moments before Chessa finally broke the silence.

“So what are you in for?”
