This cult classic DVD release from the official Jess Franco collection features the notorious 1976 Swiss West German exploitation film also known by its original title Frauengefängnis. Directed by the prolific media maverick Jesús Franco this entry in the women in prison genre stars his longtime muse Lina Romay as the central character Maria.

The narrative follows Marias harrowing journey into a depraved penal colony after she is imprisoned for killing her abusive father in self defense. Alongside Romay the cast includes prominent era performers such as Monica Swinn who portrays a sadistic lesbian warden and Martine Stedil. This Anchor Bay Entertainment edition captures a significant moment in seventies grindhouse cinema blending themes of incarceration rebellion and extreme psychological pressure that appealed to specialized collectors and niche readership interested in European cult films.

The cover artwork prominently showcases the gritty prison aesthetic typical of the era and the production by notorious genre producer Erwin C Dietrich. This 18 rated release remains a definitive piece of cinema history for those studying the evolution of international erotica and horror through the lens of one of its most controversial directors.
