Jacqueline Wilson gets caught and sentenced from 10 to 40 years. Various women are brought into the prison for right and wrong. The prison is a place of cruelty, and survival. The doctor is a creep and the warden is wheelchair hell. The girls attempt a prison break.
I've heard of the title and knew that this is a sexploitation film of the subgenre women-in-prison films. What I didn't know is that this is the debut of filmmaker Jonathan Demme. It's a Roger Corman production. Many big names got their start with Roger. The writing is messy. It needs to focus on fewer prisoners and concentrate on the most charismatic lead. Quite frankly, non of the girls are terribly charismatic. There are some questionable turns in the story and there are some interesting ones. It's a deserving cult classic.
