Overview:
When an upper class girl is sent to prison she finds herself in the company of many kinds of women, good and bad, nice and nasty, and all with a story to tell. She hates the regime, but part-way through her year's sentence she is moved to an experimental open prison.
Description
Jean Raymond (Glynis Johns) an upper class woman with a gambling addiction, is given a twelve-month prison sentence resulting from her inability to pay her debts. At first she is overwhelmingly depressed by life in the women\'s prison; gradually, however, her misery is relieved by the many close friends she makes there. This sympathetic drama traces the contrasting lives and often faltering progress of the inmates of a women\'s prison.
