In the rest of the second clip we see a convict undergoing a rare 20 strokes of the rotan in full. He is a Malay, Azman bin Arsyad. When the OIC tells him that he is now going to get his whipping, the prisoner responds "Thank you, Sir". Next comes a 13-stroke caning for a Chinese prisoner, which here is split over the first and second parts of the film. He takes his punishment remarkably stoically, hardly moving or making a noise.

This man's very heavy punishment takes over five minutes to administer, not counting his interview with the officer in charge immediately beforehand. It appears to be treated even by the prison staff, who are doing this job every week, as a bit of a special event. A new team of officers has taken over. Although they go in character they tone down the role play - “if you took Tommy Mac to a museum normally I’d be very naughty,” says Carol - and combine the trip with raising money for a charity, to allow them to pass in public without people realising what they are doing. There are also remarkable scenes in the prison hospital showing a dozen or so freshly-caned criminals, each lying face down on a bed to receive medical attention. This must mean that there were other canings at the same day's session that were not included in this film. We see close-ups of several of the wounded posteriors. These already look less horrific after receiving first aid than they did immediately at the end of the punishment.

Very evident in this film is what is clearly the standard Malaysian practice of having one or more officers holding the prisoner's head from behind the A-frame, just as shown in all the dummy demonstration pictures and stills from filmed reconstructions that we have seen, as well as in the still photo that is almost certainly of a real Malaysian caning in an earlier period before the one-piece torso shield was developed. Why was this film made? There can be little doubt that it is the same footage as that referred to in this Nov 2006 news item, which says that it was taken in 2004 for an educational documentary "to deter people from taking up a life of crime", and that it was also shown to parliamentarians and other policymakers. Lime Tree Gardens was the third such bungalow Mrs Pike had lived in, not by choice, mind you. It was in a quiet cul-de-sac with a newsagent's on the corner. Mrs Lesley, the woman next door, had the hairiest legs - you'd think she'd have them seen to. I’m 6’2”, a big man, and I feel small; insignificant in the face of the overwhelming flows of emotions arising from having been whipped by my Mistress. From a pupil’s point of view, I enter Tommy’s mindset. When you’re taken to the head teacher, you’re in trouble. It’s about being a child again.”

In fact, the neighbours did their best, she had to admit that. Hairy Mrs Lesley brought round a piece of apple pie on a plate, even bothered to put on a doily.

Because of the corporal punishment aspect, only ‘teachers’ she knows personally are allowed at the school. Mrs Pike hadn't seen the kiddies since the split and neither, from what she could gather, had her son. But she had the photographs on the sideboard - except she'd cut Her out with a pair of nail scissors. The vet asked Mrs Pike if she'd like to have a few moments alone with the dog to say goodbye, but she snapped her handbag open and shut and said she couldn't see the point. She must have looked distressed or something, because the vet put his big hand on her shoulder, moved it slowly up and down. Just until I get myself sorted," he said, because the house was up for sale and he said he couldn't face the emptiness without the kiddies. I do at least four hours preparation for every 45-minute to an hour lesson I teach. The lessons are accurate. They’re not taught to degree level but they’ll introduce the ‘pupils’ to new information so everyone will go away having learnt something - we even set homework!”

She'd had mulligatawny soup for supper and it was repeating on her - sometimes an early warning sign of Hernia Trouble. We then see prisoners waiting to be caned and being examined by the doctor. The caning operative is shown warming up with some practice strokes. Video clips Comment and analysis by C. Farrell With many thanks to the reader who kindly provided the translations from Malay Geoffrey rang her - sullen-sounding, as though Marie had pushed him into it: "What's all this untoward business, Mother?"I hated giving birth to Geoffrey," Mrs Pike said, when Marie helped herself just like that to more bread sauce. "It was just like going to the toilet, only worse." It gives us a comprehensive, uncensored view of JCP being administered in one session to a batch of adult offenders on a production-line basis.
