The inmates of cell R17 at Westgate Penitentiary – ruled over by a benevolent warden and a sadistic head guard – fed-up with their ill-treatment, begin to concoct escape plans, in this excellently acted and constructed film, which takes an unflinching look at prison justice, both guard and inmate administered, expertly painting a portrait of a hellish and desperate life.
