Each picture here can be turned into a short story. It can be assumed that 1) USA, 1960s, background is unclear; 2) Italy (?), 1970-80s, a girl is arrested in a casino; 3) Russia, after 1917, during the civil war, a “white” officer arrests a girl who sympathized with the “reds”; 4) France, late 19th century, a girl is arrested in a pharmacy; 5) USA, 1940-50s, background is unclear. What do you think about the localization of these images, the guilt of each of the girls and the upcoming punishment by court decision?

Imagining it`s you, knowing those shorts will soon be coming off, and that tight little will be writhing under the lash of the strap.

2) Italy (?), 1970-80s, a girl is arrested in a casino;
A Red Brigade member, Patrizia was the inside woman for a planned robbery of the Sanremo Casino. Not punished -- her friends broke her out of pretrial detention and spirited her away to Paris.
3) Russia, after 1917, during the civil war, a “white” officer arrests a girl who sympathized with the “reds”;
Nina the Bolshie was stripped naked in the railway station square and beaten with rifle cleaning rods until her back and buttocks turned an appropriate shade of red.
4) France, late 19th century, a girl is arrested in a pharmacy;
It was all about money. Having poisoned her moyenne bourgeoisie parents, Espérance started on her only brother. Henri V having predictably denied clemency, early one morning in the prison courtyard she was tied to a post and severely beaten with rods over her bare back and shoulders. Then, wearing only a long shift, her head draped in a black veil, she was led barefoot into the town square and guillotined for her abominable crimes.

Marcius, thanks for your comment and possible scenarios. Perhaps Espérance was treated too harshly. There is also a question: who is that Henry V in France in the 19th century?

I suppose the only timeline in which hardcore corporal punishment was possible in late 19th Century France is the Third Bourbon Restoration, i.e. this chap on the throne. The royal government of l'ordre moral did not go that far as to restore the old punishment for parricide in full, chopping the right hand off before the beheading having been abolished in 1832. However, they kept the veiling and bare feet bits -- those survived until the 1930s in our timeline, I think -- and threw in that part of the punishment of errant vestals in Ancient Rome where the woman was chastised with rods before getting tied up for transportation to the Colline Gate and entombment while alive.

It's all very odd. #2 looks like a Scottish policeman's hat, but with a badge with some Arabic script on it. And the words on the fruit machine seem to be in Hebrew! A queer set of medals too, and a strange country where cops wear their medals on duty, other than ceremonial occasions!

I doubt the anti-Bolshevik officers in the civil war went around with their medals, either - but maybe that #3 scene's at some social gathering shortly before the revolution, when the young lady's subversive sympathies have suddenly come to light.

AI strives to be the pinnacle of inclusion, it seems.
