Delivers what it promises

Warning: Spoilers
It's a Filipino Exploitation film made by Roger Corman and staring Pam Greir. It's exactly what you'd expect from a film of this sort.

An American girl takes the rap for drug smuggling for her Filipino boyfriend, and is sentenced to ten years in a prison in the jungle where their job is to drop sticks in a field, er for some reason. She is locked up with three other women, including a woman wrongly accused of murder, and a junkie who is secretly trying to murder her in the most inept ways possible so she can get more drugs. Grier is their sadistic, lesbian head guard, who has a torture chamber called the playpen which has a lot of strategically placed devices to avoid full frontal nudity.

This leads to the daring escape, which is a lot of wandering in the jungle. Eventually, they are sent to a floating brothel where all the dialog is now dubbed. (You have to think this part of the movie was filmed for a different audience, because even the American actresses' dialog doesn't synch up to their lip movements.) The big finale is a shootout where the lead is rescued and the backstabbing incompetent murderer gets to spend the rest of her life on the Brothel. The movie ends on a shot of her face thinking, "I am going to so fire my agent!!!"
