REVIEWS

Review by dyinglikeflies (posted on 16-Sep-2007)

One of the first "women in prison" movies, it set the pattern: Innocent girl jailed because of a misunderstanding or a man who done her wrong, gets kicked around by her cell-mates and the guards and, soon enough, is a hardened babe ready to be set loose on the world as a real criminal. Movie is populated by very good actresses, so the weak plot is beside the point- it's great to watch these ladies at work.
