Although she is totally innocent "Daniela Vinci" (Jenny Tamburi) is sent to prison by the lead inspector on the case with the hope that she might reveal some crucial information concerning 20 pounds of heroin that her mobster boyfriend stole from a rival mob boss. At the same time another woman named "Hilda" (Anita Strindberg) is sent to the same prison as an undercover agent who also wants this information. However, the problem that both of them face is just trying to survive the sadistic guards and the savage female prisoners they are forced to contend with 24 hours a day. Now rather than reveal any more of the story and risk ruining the film for those who haven't seen it I will just say that I found this to be a sub-par European Women-in-Prison (WIP) movie in just about every way. For one thing the story didn't seem to transition well from one scene to another which caused it to feel a bit disjointed. Additionally, the sex scenes lacked passion and eroticism. Put quite bluntly-they were boring. On that same note, except for possibly Anita Strindberg, none of the women were really that attractive. So essentially this was a movie that I thought was badly directed and suffered from poor casting. As such I rate it as below average.
