I am wondering if anyone has ever tried using a lockable "hairshirt", made of sackcloth, as a punishment. If so, how effective was it.

never tried it, but I recall a Domme who used to put her sub in a sackcloth tunic for overnight stays in his cell. It was threaded with chain and he was restrained in a way that made it impossible to remove. I doubt she did it for his fun, she is a determined lady!

Definitely more practical, but I prefer the old fashioned hands and neck pillory. Out to the side, hands in front, it's all good. Maybe the point of your idea is to leave the prisoner "semi-self functional"?

I've never experienced it as a punishment, but I have on occasion done work involving actual hessian sacks. The material is very rough, very course and starts itching like mad very soon. I severely disliked working with it with bare hands and usually wore gloves but even so at the end of the day I usually had scratched,red, irritated skin on my lower arms at the end of the day. I can't imagine being locked into it on the bare skin. I'm sure it is actually a punishment one would like to avoid.

Thanks folks. I think it would be good for both of us if Mistress K had a simple way to punish me if I step out of line. Unfortunately, whips, chains or anything obvious is out at the moment. Something I can wear under normal clothes would be good.

That sounds as if it might work.

It would be great to be able to use something like that, but not really practical at present. I wish we could use our bondage pony, but that is packed away at the moment. As a side issue, I do wonder what would happen if the victim feints in a pillory. Does he risk a broken neck or strangulation?

That, on the other hand, sounds as if I would not be able to go swimming without embarrassment.

Maybe some upholstry hessian might be a bit less nasty. If I get around to trying it I'll post the results.

There's some sort of thin acrylic material, I've bought school knickers in it, which is intensely irritating to wear without causing any distinct marks. No idea what it might be called though. I'll dig through old emails and see if I can figure out what it was.

Top be honest I should have mentioned that the sacks we were working with were probably the roughest,coarsest and cheapest material they could find. And I've found I also seem to be more sensitive to this irritation than others. The marks usually also faded away relatively fast (within a day) so it's not as if it was worn raw and bleeding.

There was a movie years ago that came out about a prison farm in the south. I think Paul Newman played in it. One of the punishments at the prison was to put someone in a hair shirt and lock them in a small area like an outhouse. I'm sure it was a tough punishment being in a hot environment in a hair shirt unable to remove it.

Cool Hand Luke? But I don't recall the hair shirt and no mention here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Hand_Luke
