Follow up to The Big Doll House which was again made by New World and has many of the same cast. The one cliche lacking from Doll House was having an innocent new fish as a protagonist (Judy Browne's character wasn't really innocent).That is rectified here, with Jennifer Gan as the annoying simpering whining innocently-convicted American (though she's a gangster's moll who is introduced enjoying a cockfight, so she can't be all that innocent, either) who winds up in prison.
Her cell mates include Roberta Collins (playing a heroin addict) and Judy Browne; Pam Grier who played a big butch dyke prisoner last time, here plays a big butch dyke warden, who spends her time seducing and/or torturing the prisoners (she even has her own torture chamber). There is an escape sequence, the girls wind up on a brothel boat, from where there is another escape sequence.
Not nearly as much fun as Doll House, lacking that film's energy, with, annoyingly, a male hero (a cop) who comes to rescue at the end, and some genuinely unpleasant moments - the two definite lesbians both wind up gang raped and murdered by men.
