Work Text:
A resistance hideout was raided by the military and, despite putting up a good fight, the surviving resistance members were forced to surrender. A number of them were then loaded into a prisoner transportation vehicle. Once the military decided they had enough prisoners, they executed all the other resistance members on the spot.
The prisoners spent nearly a day being transported to a prison for rebels and dissidents. They were then separated by sex and forced into the processing centres of their respective units. The prisoners had their heads shaved, were stripped of all their clothing and thoroughly searched, received several lashings each, then were finally dressed in their prison uniforms and had their prison number tattooed on the back of their necks. They would be referred to by this number from this point forward and had to refer to themselves as such. The use of personal names was forbidden and the punishment was very severe.
In the male prison unit, the prisoners were brought before the prison commander who was there to ‘welcome’ the new arrivals. He was a young blond man who greeted the prisoners with a warm smile, yet told the prisoners that they were all traitorous scum who deserved death as he did so. The commander informed the prisoners that their days in prison would be full of agonizing torture and exhausting labour, yet it was still more than they deserved and they should just be thankful that they were being allowed to live.
The commander was fiercely loyal to his Absolute Leader and saw any deviation of this loyalty to be something that required correction through severe measures. While a few prisoners managed to leave the prison after being considered ‘fully rehabilitated,’ the vast majority wound up in the prison’s crematorium.
