Women In Cages

REVIEW
An innocent woman is arrested for possession of heroin. Her guilty boyfriend tells her to be silent and he will get her out. She obediently says nothing in her defense and gets 20 years in prison. In prison, the head matron is a black lesbian named Alabama (Pam Grier). She takes pleasure in alternately loving and torturing the prisoners, and also pays a local bandit gang to retrieve escapees. The gang rapes the escaped prisoners and brings them back dead for the rewards. Ultimately, three of the major characters (one is Alabama's former lover) escape and take Alabama with them as a hostage. Tracked by the gang she once hired, Alabama and her lover are on the run for their lives.
