Cell Block Sisters: Banished Behind Bars

1995 · 95 min

A grim, pulpy tale of separated sisters and prison peril that plays like a melodramatic late-night thriller.

Henri Charr
Genres
Drama, Crime
Tagline
Murder split them apart. Revenge brought them together.
Overview
Sam Connor kidnaps his young daughters, April and May, sells them to strangers, and accidentally kills his wife when she attempts to intervene. Sixteen years later, April is an out of control outlaw who has come into a life of drugs and crime, while May has grown into a straight laced, refined woman. The plot thickens when April avenges her mother's death by killing her father, and May is sent to jail as the prime suspect. Fortunately, Detective Arman, instantly taken with May, fights for her innocence and tries to get her out before she is taken down by other hostile prisoners.
