Experimental drugs, parole deals, and out-of-control inmates collide in this 1976 sexploitation oddity.
THE STUDENT BODY
A secret campus experiment ... from inmates to classmates ... to playmates ...
Three female inmates are offered early parole if they become test subjects for a college class. The class professor, Dr. Blalock, is secretly testing an experimental drug on the girls on behalf of a pharmaceutical company.
Proof that parole boards and pharmaceutical reps should never share a Rolodex.
When parole comes with a prescription pad, you know you’re in exploitation territory. Gus Trikonis directs a trio of women’s prison graduates into a Kansas City college, where 'behavioral science' is just code for sex, scandal, and side effects. Science fiction, skin, and psychotronic bad behavior—The Student Body doesn’t waste your time or your morals.

Synopsis
Why Cult
Blending women-in-prison sleaze with a sci-fi plot about experimental drugs and behavioral experiments, this film is a prime slice of mid-'70s psychotronic cinema.
The action follows three inmates set loose on a college campus, swapping prison bars for bad influences and hidden cameras.
Watch as an illegal study turns its subjects from parolees into powder kegs, courtesy of Dr. Blalock’s not-so-noble pharmacological ambitions.
Expect a full psychotronic roster: skinny dipping, voyeurism, sex scenes, and more than a few topless mishaps, all under the guise of 'science.'
