Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This movie has made an indelible mark on my memory - probably from the pouch on the warden's desk supposedly made from part of an inmate. Eeew.With items like that, the titillation (absolutely no pun intended) is moderated by some really creepy moments and pathos. On the upside, the protagonists are cute, with a little something for all male tastes; there's a tough one, a seriously pneumatic one, etc.There are moments though- I still laugh when I remember one line from the scary warden, threatening the girls with a "painful, unremitting death."Isn't all death unremitting?

(small spoilers about the characters and the troubles they get into. Fussy people should see the flick first.) If you are a politically correct person who would be upset by scenes of naked women or stereotypically nasty portrayals of followers of Mohammed doing nasty things to above mentioned women, please skip this movie. But if you like WIP movies, this movie has all the requisite elements of such movies combined with great greaser villains and nice Turkish background music, plus an awesome lesbo queen bee. Playboy model Lori Jo Hendrix is cast as the big tit bimbo who "protects" herself by wearing a babydoll nightgown, and Rebecca Chambers is cast as the brunette brain (following the Charlie's Angels Theory of Hair Color and Intelligence) who plots the escape, and fights with the evil queen bee in the shower.Today WIP pictures seem to require a serious social drama plot to make them PC; they don't make 'em like this any more, and I wish they did!

Pay television has the best late night films an insomniac could want. Prison Heat has all the elements of the other _ _ _ _ _ heat films; you have a little T and A, a shower scene, an imposing lesbian who rules the cell block, a trip to solitary confinement, a male/female warden who desires one or all of the new chicks, and a rape scene, usually by one of the aforementioned parties.This one was surprisingly amusing. The acting was ... dare I say it, decent, on some level. If you've seen one of these babes behind bars movies, however, you've seen them all, and the only true change in store is a different set of bodies.I found a little of their situations a bit too unbelievable, especially some of the things Colleen had learned at her vet, had seen at her.....you get the idea. This one actually tried to stick with the story line more than others. I said story line, not plot, the movie isn't that deep. The T and A was minimal, and I didn't really miss it. As far as this genre goes, this is one of the better movies, but it's no Citizen Kane and still not as enjoyable as Reform School Girls. 5 out of 10

I have to admit that this is what I would call a guilty pleasure. The acting is poor, the plot predictable and the story leaves little to the imagination. However, if you like women's prison flicks then check this out. Basically 4 American babes get framed for drug possession and thrown in to a Turkish prison. Here they meet up with cruel lesbians and a sadistic warden. Lori Jo Hendrix plays the "innocent" of the four. She is repeatedly raped by the creepy warden and shows plenty of skin. Rebecca Chambers has a good lesbo shower scene and of course they are all eager to show skin at one time or another. The ending is not hard to figure out but Lori Jo Hendrix makes this show worth watching just to check out her hot bod. The one scene where she gets raped doggy style by the warden on his desk is fairly memorable.
