Tagline: White skin on the black market!

Plot: When sadistic women's prison warden Alabama (Pam Grier) isn't harassing her female inmates in her torture chamber, she's maniacally seducing them, forcing them to bend to her every sexual whim. Soon after ditzy ex-stripper Jeff (Jennifer Gan) is sent to Alabama's prison for a crime she didn't commit, she finds she's no exception and must face the tyrannical warden.

My rating: 5.5/10

Man, there was a LOT of beating going on in this flick...in my living room. OH! But seriously, for a Women in Prison flick, it's not that shabby. There's plenty of nudity (not enough Pam Grier for my taste), torture, shower scenes and action to fill 78 minutes. The pacing's pretty good and there's more plot than most in this genre. The acting, including Grier, is poor but that's not why you watch movies like this. Most of the flick takes place in a jungle prison but once they escape, it's much more enjoyable. The scenery is gorgeous and the picture opens up quite a bit with the plot that leaves you with a very satisfying conclusion.
