Last month I reviewed the first DVD from the pay site Bars-and-Stripes"The Prison Chronicles Vol. 1". The second DVD, aptly titled "The Prison Chronicles Volume 2" is a continuation of the release of their members only material onto DVD format. There are five scenes present on "Volume 2" beginning with "The Cavity Search" which shows exactly what the title implies. A young, cute prisoner is brought into the medical bay after escaping for a full cavity search to ensure that she is not hiding any contraband. The cavity search is well done and captured from a couple of different angles for the viewers pleasure. After the search an aggressive strapping is carried out in a variety of positions inluding flat on a bed, on all fours, and kneeling against a wall. The strapping goes on for quite some time and while no serious damage is seen, the girls bottom is well worked over.

The next segment is a solitary confinement scene starring Leia Ann Woods and features a female guard spanking her over successive days. The first day is a hand spanking over her black cotton panties and on the bare while bent over a bed. On the second day the punishment is ratcheted up a notch and shows Leia Ann leaning against a wall while the guard beats her with a leather strap. Some fairly hard strapping here and quite a bit of dialogue between the characters. Day three brings the cane into play. The caning is sharp and crisp. Plenty painful but not the full force strokes seen in some of the current videos. It reminds me quite a bit of the classic canings from companies like Moonglow and California Star of the 80's and 90's. Hard enough to make some good marks and get the model's attention but not hard enough to draw blood or leave serious bruises.

The third chapter stars one of my favorites, Niki Flynn. Niki undergoes some electrical torture at the beginning of the segment and a couple of more times during it, but luckily the focus is mainly on spanking. The punishment duties are carried out by Lucy McLean, the slightly heavy set woman who acts as the prisons nurse. She spanks Niki at first just by hand but after returning from an emergency and finding that Niki has torn up a pillow, she really gets mad and brings out the cane. I really liked the way that Niki is caned with all of the feathers from the pillow around her as they fly up with each stroke of the cane and just add that little bit more.

"Bitch and the Bust" features two prisoners getting it at the same time from two male guards. The cane is used on one of them and the other gets a crop from the very beginning. The strokes start out somewhat light but build up to a medium intensity as the scene progresses. One of the high points of the scene in my opinion is when the girl getting caned begins to have her thighs targeted. This leaves some great tram lines on a very sensitive area of the body.

The final chapter is another "Solitary Confinement" scene, this time starring Sarah Collins. The story is similar to the first segment but the spanking is done by a male guard and beings with a large leather strap directly on her bare bottom. A lot of strokes are delivered and they are all at medium to hard intensity. The second day has Lucy McLean coming in for a hand strapping with a tawse. There are not a lot of strokes here but the ones that are shown are quite hard. The final day of solitary features another good strapping but it is significantly shorter than the first day's.

If you are into women's prison punishments, either of the Prison Chronicles is worth a look. The action is solid but not brutal by any means and should appeal to a wide variety of spanking enthusiast. It also is a great way to see what the Bars-and-Stripes pay site has to offer. If you would like to know more about the pay site I have a new review of it this month HERE.

The storyline of "Dark Room" is your fairly basic women being tortured in prison for the delight of the guards and onlookers. The movie begins by setting the story of a woman whose sister has been sentenced to the prison but who has been unable to communicate with her. She manages to get in the prison under a fake court order to determine what is going on. Once there she discovers that there is a secret part of the prison where the more attractive women are taken. They are then taken to a darkened room for punishment in front of a group of people who sit in the shadows. It would have been a nice touch, but unfortunately the crowd is never shown.

After getting through the initial setup for the movie, the real action quickly begins. Two women are stripped and taken to the dark room for their punishments. The sentence is 100 strokes, 50 with a single-tail whip and 50 with a cane. The first woman to be punished is a real cutie. She is a thin brunette with a great body and cute face. At first she is tied in a standing position and two different women take turns whipping her with a single-tail whip. This is an incredibly hard whipping and the model marks badly during it. The whipping is one of the hardest I have seen. After the whipping is done the model is bent over and receives an equally hard caning. Needless to say, the girl really reacts and I was amazed she got through it all. The second woman is then brought up and gets the same treatment, although maybe a little harder if that is possible. The second woman is a nice looking redhead but I had one problem with her. She has a lot of tattoos including a huge one of an alien on her right flank. The scene is good enough that this flaw is easy to overlook. I normally don't mind tattoos, but this one is just annoyingly large.

"Dark Room" is really just for those who like the most severe action available. The cast is a little smaller than the normal Mood film but the number of strokes that each woman takes makes up for this. The video has a great setting a decent costumes so that it has a very real feel to it. Technically the video is well done as well with a much better picture than my photos show and clear sound.

I had seen Kshara's web site and thought it was interesting but had not gotten around to downloading anything until recently. Kshara does not sell tapes or DVDs, but instead the purchases are all done online and the video is then downloaded to the buyer's computer. For those not familiar with Kshara Productions, they are a combination bondage and corporal punishment website. A lot of BDSM sites tend to focus a lot more on the bondage aspect and the spanking part of the site usually suffers. While Kshara does have some complex bondage, they tend to use it just to hold the model in place so that they can deliver a more effective beating.

"Penitence" is one of their latest releases and features a model named Lola. Lola is a very petite, cute young woman, with what I consider an amazing body. As the movie opens Lola is tied nude with her hands above her head to a bundle of bamboo. She is in some kind of empty warehouse with a dark look to it. The male star of the series, a gentleman known as the Punisher, then makes his entry with a short, singletailed whip. The Punisher is a fairly handsome gentleman in his 30's who is in good shape. He is definitely not your sterotypic older fat guy that shows up in a lot of bondage movies. The action begins immediately with Lola being whipped all about her body. With her hands tied in the air she cannot defend herself and within the first three minutes of the video she has red stripes all over her. After about five minutes with the short whip a long bullwhip is brought into play. The strokes are hard and the whip wraps around her body adding to the multitude of red marks that she already has.

The next position is the familiar diaper position that has become quite popular. A cane is used at first and it is not your typical caning. The strokes are very quick and sharp and they just do not stop. The bruising seen with really hard canings is not present here but her bottom is entirely covered with red tram lines. A heavy flogger is used next on her. It is mainly used on her bottom but she gets a significant number of strokes elsewhere on her body including the sensitive area between the legs, her breasts, and the backs of her thighs. The third position was one that I was not that fond of. It has Lola hanging in the air in a prone position with a very complex roping setup. The Punisher does a pretty good job at delivering whip strokes to all the parts of her body, but it just seemed to me like he never really had a good clear shot. If you are into complex bondage positions then this scene might be of interest, but it just did not do much for me. The final position is with Lola tied to a steel column with her butt exposed for a whipping. A bullwhip is used again to great affect, mainly focusing on her bare bottom. It looked to me as though the action got a little hard for Lola at the end but she made it through it.

I liked my first Kshara video and will definitely be downloading more to review in the future. Fans of bonadage who also like corporal punishment will really be into these videos from what I have seen. Those who enjoy whipping will also like the videos as it is very much in abundance here and is very realistic. The only thing that I found unusual about the video is that there was absolutely no dialogue whatsover in the movie. The Punisher never utters a command and Lola never makes a sound either, not even crying out in pain. As I mentioned at the beginning of the review, Kshara Productions does not do DVDs, only downloads. I usually prefer to watch my videos on DVD but the download videos have gotten much better over the past couple of years. Kshara uses Dvix for their videos and the quality is very good. I had the video on full screen size and the picture quality was excellent, as was the sound. The price of the video was very reasonable in my opinion. You buy credits at the site used to download the videos. You can either download the entire video for $20 USD or you can dowload portions of it for $5 USD if you only wanted to see one or two scenes.
