Quick Answer

What is Sugar Boxx about?

Sugar Boxx is a 2009 American action-crime thriller directed by Cody Jarrett about an undercover reporter infiltrating a corrupt women's prison to expose a prostitution ring.

Programmer's Pick

Sugar Boxx isn't shy about its inspirations—think pulp, sleaze, and swampy justice with a wink to classic women-in-prison fare. Tura Satana and Kitten Natividad turn up the heat, while Cody Jarrett's direction keeps things brash, bawdy, and true to exploitation roots.

As Valerie navigates the treacherous prison environment, alliances form and tensions rise. With a backdrop of exploitation and systemic abuse, the stage is set for resistance to ignite.
