Where Innocence Is A Punishable Crime

DramaActionTV MovieCrimeThriller

Two UCLA coeds have engine trouble in small Southern town. When they spurn the local sheriff's advances he arranges for them to be taken to the women's prison on trivial charges (the judge is a cousin), where they must endure atrocities at the hands of the administrators of the prison and the prison guards.

VIBE

A harrowing and brutal descent into the depths of institutional cruelty. This film sears with its unflinching portrayal of systemic abuse and the desperate fight for survival against overwhelming odds. It's a raw, uncomfortable, and unforgettable experience.
