A new group of inmates arrive at the Whitehead Correctional Facility, including Frances Shepard (LisaRaye McCoy), who claims to be innocent. She meets the leaders Nikki Barnes (N'Bushe Wright) and Wet (Monica Calhoun) and shares the cell of the pregnant Lil' Momma (Lark Voorhies). Soon she learns that the corrupt Warden Nelson (Reed R. McCants) and Captain Alan Deese (Clifton Powell) explore the inmates with a slave labor for companies. In addition, Deese sexually abuses of the inmates and his favorite, Aisha (Tichina Arnold), snitches the other women. When Deese rapes Lil' Momma, who consequently dies with her baby, Nikki, Wet, Frances and Aisha revolt and their riot bring tragic consequences.
"Civil Brand" is a conventional prison drama, showing women abused and explored by the leader of the guards inside the corrupt facility. The prisoners are pictured only as victims, despite the lack of respect and abuses of most of the guards. The cast has good performances and the plot is entertaining for fans of the genre. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Civil Brand - Lutando por Justiça" ("Civil Brand - Fighting for Justice")
