The Penitentiary by Tanya Simmonds

Hi Everybody

I just thought I’d drop you all a line to tell you about my latest femdom novel, The Penitentiary:

Alyssa Nash was one of the most beautiful correctional officers in Texas. But the day arrived when her idol, rock star, Cole Lacroix, was led into her workplace – in shackles.

Now, she is a woman torn. For the sake of her career, she must keep a close watch upon the man she adores and write him up if he breaks the rules – including the rule that’s impossible not to!

But during the night, another world awakens when a conspiracy of lustful female guards take to the solitary cells to satisfy their own carnal desires with the helpless inmates.

In this place of cruelty and corruption, all of their lives will be changed forever as they are forced to face the truth about themselves amidst the perils and sensual torments of… The Penitentiary.

My original contribution to the BDSM world was a femdom trilogy which, due to commercial demands, had to be re-edited into four stand-alone novels. (The Paramount Rule, Prisoners of the Governess, Reformation and Stronghold.) For that reason, masturbation prohibition plays a pivotal role in all of them because they were originally one connected story. I said that I wouldn’t write another novel on this subject because I had already covered it as a femdom fantasy concept quite thoroughly.

And then I discovered that such a torture was an actual reality…

The idea originally came to me through my husband, who, as a teenager, had suffered this particular cruelty at the hands of a Christian cult. However, sadistic, crackpot religions aside, I discovered that Masturbation prohibition does exist today – officially – in almost all US prisons. According to reports, it is enforced primarily by female correctional officers, even when the inmate is caught masturbating discreetly under the sheets with no agenda to cause offence.

It is difficult for many of us in the free world to believe that arbitrarily denying other human beings the right to their own bodies is practised in the post-Millennial West. It’s a cruelty that doesn’t exist for the purpose of rehabilitation, to prevent harm coming to others, or even as a means of extracting information. It is imposed purely for the sake of itself.

Additionally, the accounts of female correctional officers engaging in illicit sexual relations with inmates are too numerous to count.

This demanded the need for me to revise my position on not going ‘there’ again. I felt very strongly that this concept had ‘femdom’ written all over it, notwithstanding that it occurs in the real world.

It is upon this penal playground of sensual sadism and venality that my latest tale, The Penitentiary, takes place.

In a departure from the typical ‘whips and chains’ elements of S & M, I decided to write the story as close to reality as was practical. Psychological torments abound in the novel, along with intense, steamy sex scenes and deeply emotional subplots. With this project, the most important element for me was to create a strong and intriguing story with shock twists and even thriller elements.

Of all of the novels I have written in this genre, The Penitentiary is my favourite. The Paramount Rule was my mega-hit, but The Penitentiary is very close to my heart. I hope that it brings great pleasure and ecstatic orgasms to all who read it.

The Penitentiary by Tanya Simmonds will be available from Pink Flamingo Publications from May 18th.
