Director Jonathan Demme's CAGED HEAT is a great example of the Women In Prison movie. All of the prerequisites are here:

#1- Women in snazzy street clothes behind bars!

#2- Multiple, full-on shower scenes!

#3- Cat fights!

#4- Thuggish / hillbilly guards!

#5- A sadistic, insane female Warden (played by the one and only Barbara Steele)!

#6- Gun fights!

#7- Hard core inmates!

#8- Breakouts!

#9- Torture!

Yes, this is a masterwork of its subgenre, and one of the gems in Producer Roger Corman's crown. Erica Gavin plays the woman who gets caught at the beginning, winding up in the pen. It's rough going, especially when she crosses paths with the tough-talking, no-nonsense Maggie (Juanita Brown). Ms. Steele's character isn't in it as much as you might think, but she makes the best of her crackpot role. Also, watch for Rainbeaux Smith as the very lovely Lavelle.

Highly recommended for the true WIP connoisseur...
