This is the harrowing and horrifying narrative of life in a British Borstal for juvenile delinquents. The cruel government made no attempt at reforming or improving the inmates and intentionally promoted a power struggle between the 'tough' new inmate and the 'old hands'. This film is a remake, directed and written by the same person, of a 1977 BBC teleplay that was never shown [see Scum (1991)].
