Have you ever wished we had
a new women-in-prison flick filled with every dirty cliche of the genre,
including an innocent main character who gets sent to prison and strip
searched, showered, beat up, and forced into sex (both straight and lesbian)
while ending up completely naked in like every other scene? If so, wish
granted. Behold the direct-to-video sleazefest Jailbait. Like others in its genre, this is heavy
on degradation and humiliation. It stars the beautiful Sara Malakul Lane, who
you may remember from 12/12/12 (she also had
a short GIMP scene in that), or a number of other B movies she's been in.
Lane plays Anna Nix, a woman who accidentally kills her stepfather while
trying to defend herself from him in an attempted rape. Fortunately for us,
she has no luck in the courts, and they sentence her to 4-9 years in prison.
Her character is mostly shy and non-confrontational, which makes for good GIMP
scenes as she learns the hard life behind bars.
The first scene of interest is of course, her first day, when they line her
up and make her strip for a cavity search with a few others. The scene doesn't
last as long as you'd hope, but you do see her ordered to get naked, put her
hands on the wall and cough, and then get hosed down a little.
Later, some of the power-player prisoners rudely introduce themselves to
her, dishing out threats and a clothed beat down. After hesitantly but
ultimately voluntarily having sex with her horny cellmate, Anna decides she
needs to join one of the gangs if she wants to survive. Part of her initiation
involves picking a fight with a rival to prove she has what it takes. Since
she was the instigator, the guards throw her into solitary confinement. Naked
solitary confinement, that is. They make her take off her uniform right
outside the cell before pushing her in.
Now you may be thinking wait a minute Insomniac, you promised us every
women-in-prison cliche. Where's the scumbag warden? Well, hold on I'm getting
to it!
At this point she's gotten the warden's attention, so he calls her into his
office and basically tells her she can either go back to confinement or give
him the best blow job he's ever had. She opts for the latter (not graphically
shown of course) and then pukes afterwards in the shower. In fact, I think she
pukes after every encounter with this guy.
After that we get another lesbian scene in which Anna is more or less
forced into it. It's not rough, but she can't really say no to the leader of
her gang. The lesbian scenes in this go on for a while by mainstream
standards, but still fall a little shy of being full blown softcore.
Then she gets into another fight and again has to have sex with the warden
to get out of punishment (nothing seen in that one). It's kind of rinse/repeat
until she pisses off the gang she's been with. The leader disowns her, which
makes her an inviting target for the other inmates she keeps fighting with.
They corner her in the shower, and one woman (after telling her pals to "raise
the bitch up") beats her several times with what I think is a soap bar in a
sock. You get full frontal in this scene.
In the second half of the movie she gets thrown into naked isolation for a
longer period of time, making her go kind of crazy and suicidal. She
eventually can't take it anymore and once again agrees to give her body to the
warden for leniency. You get a few more blackmail sex scenes with him before
it's over.
As with most mainstream movies, you're sacrificing the length and quality
of GIMP scenes that you might get in a studio production in return for having
some story around them and better actors (though they aren't that much better
in this). It can be a little of a tease, because it's not quite a softcore
erotic thriller, but it might as well be for how far it goes. I thought the
scenes were good but that they could have gone on a little longer. The script
and production values aren't anything special either. You also don't get any
heavy bondage or torture scenes. But if you're starved for a new prison flick
and want to see a cute non-porn actress get put through some humiliating
situations, you'll want to check this out. I give it a B
, for not being amazing but being far from awful.
