CGiii Comment
The prisoners wear targets on their backs...
There are a couple of scenes with a gay cook who likes big pansies...!
Other than that...an uneven prison drama with some rather bizarre characters - the star reader with 3 wives!!!
Watch...
The(ir) Blurb...
Chain gang prisoners forced to construct a "liberty highway" for their overseer chasten under his brutal stewardship, causing Duke Ellis to mastermind a mass riot.
