Women's Prison (2002 film)

Women's Prison is a 2002 direct-to-video exploitation film directed by Fred Olen Ray (credited as Nicholas Medina). The film stars Melinda DeKay, Karen Black, and Chuck Connors (in one of his final roles). It is an example of the women-in-prison (WIP) subgenre, featuring themes of violence, sexual exploitation, and survival within a fictional women's correctional facility.

The plot typically revolves around the experiences of a new inmate entering the prison system and encountering its brutal realities, including corrupt guards, predatory fellow inmates, and the often-arbitrary rules enforced within the institution. The film often explores themes of power dynamics, lesbianism (often presented in an exploitative manner), and the fight for survival within a confined and dangerous environment. Due to the nature of the WIP genre, the film contains elements that may be considered offensive or exploitative.
