Storyline

In a women's prison in Brazil, the inmates are young and beautiful, the warden is a sadist, all but one of the guards are cruel, and the nurse is an incompetent cuckoo. To make it difficult for the inmates to hide contraband, they wear no underwear. They are alternately murderous and orgiastic with each other, and they engage in sex play with some of the guards. The warden pimps out inmates to wealthy lesbians. With the help of the nurse and under the cover of Carnival, three inmates stage an escape. Once out, will they contrive to stay undiscovered, or will their natures guarantee an ill-fated end to their attempt?

Salacitious Excrement!

OK! I'm being a touch too rude with my heading, but really this is absolutely awful film making. Some may try to tell us that it's fun and not meant to be taken seriously, yet how are you meant to take it? As an extraction of the urine? Some sort of caustic Brazillian piece that is misunderstood, that it's cunning in how it sends up the Women In Prison sub-genre of sexploitation?

Lets strip it down to its very basic fundamental appeal, that of a "film" that strings a number of lesbian sex scenes together every ten minutes or so in the hope of gaining a reputation from the horny hordes that this may be a picture well worth seeking out. Oh don't get me wrong, this is one prison populated by lady wardens straight out of my teenage fantasies. If I had seen this when I was 14 years old then this soft porn rubbish would have definitely held my undivided attention, but look at it with mature eyes and it's absolutely cringe worthy.

There comes a time when constant sex scenes become boring, especially when played out by bad actors who in turn are dubbed by women who usually voice advertisements for constipation medicine. There's a couple of scenes that might pass as an observation on sexual empowerment, and just maybe there's a wee thread that suggests you should think about the abuse of power in the world's correctional facilities? But really it's a cheap skin flick that wants its audience to do something other than think about the perils of prison... 1/10
