Arline Judge does her very best with a great director but a terrible script in this exploitation drama where prison corruption is exposed by its own family. A mobster involved in the trafficking of women's prison inmates whose own sister in law strives to bring him down. A couple of really shocking scenes gives this a higher rating than it deserves, especially one involving "the drunk who cried wolf" who slurs the truth too much under the line up of bourbon shots. Edgar G. Ulmer manages to make this just a tiny bit better but somebody should have red edited that script. The best scenes come outside the prison walls, especially an opening practically unrelated scene when a judge tells off a jury for going against the evidence of a case involving an obvious criminal and finding him innocent.
