THE WEAK AND THE WICKED
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.
About This Film
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.
