An ex-convict is framed for shoplifting and thrown back in jail, where sexual abuse by the sadistic staff makes her vow to fight for penal reform when she is released. Drama, starring Judith Light, Stacy Keach and Kay Lenz.

Behind prison walls, corruption, sex and power make criminals out of the guards and heroes out of the guarded. For more than a decade, the lawless guards inside a maximum security women's prison have reigned with impunity - rape, sex for money and illegal favors have become the norm until one woman decides to battle the system. Leading a group of inmates on a risky life-or-death struggle for justice, a ten year silence is finally broken, exposing the twisted truth to the world and enabling the prisoners the freedom to live without fear.
