JK2006	Also a lovely lady whose friendship as a teenager I shall always cherish.
veritas	oh I must try and see that ! I'm so glad someone realises what a terrific actress Diana Dors was:cheer:
mickeyone	Going back a long way - the wonderful 'Yield to the Night' with Diana Dors, who really showed what a good actress she was. On TV - 'Within These Walls' with the fabulous Googie Withers. Apart from those - Scum Shawshank Escape from Alcatraz Birdman of Alcatraz
veritas	Scum..I agree...absolutely shocking at the time and one of the first films to really show how teens were brutalised in the system. Has anything changed ? Followed by Vile Pervert which manages to be entertaining whilst getting the point accross. As for High Campery..'Prisoner'..the mad Aussie TV series about a women's prison. Get's better with age and knocks into a cocked hat all those other unwatchable Oz soaps..Home & Away etc. Sammy Davis Jnr said it was his favourite TV show !
JC	I didn't realise how accurate Porridge was until I did my own time. Stepping into Gloucester prison was like stepping into the TV series. I spent only a fortnight there before being transfered to Risley which was much more modern. I think I'd go for the Birdman of Alcatraz because it has a very prison like atmosphere and it raises many important questions about justice and the treatment of inmates.
