The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison. Nathaniel Hawthorne

Possibly the tamest women-in-prison movie ever made.

Ann (Jill Ireland) is framed for robbery and sent to prison where she is forced to wear a pink dress and be scolded by the guards.

Even the worst women-in-prison movie generally offers some fun.  This one put me right to sleep.  I will not be catching up on the parts I missed.
