About Women Prison: Vigilante Justice
Naomi is sent to prison in place of her brother, who is involved with a violent gang. There, she experiences various forms of vigilante justice at the hands of the sexually frustrated female inmates. From being tortured with leftover food to being stripped naked and forced to crawl around and lick the genitals of other female inmates, she endures insidious sexual abuse. To make matters worse, the female guard is a lesbian. Then, a virgin woman whom her brother had saved arrives in the communal cell, now a depraved prostitute. When Naomi learns that her brother was killed by a gang leader, she seeks revenge upon her parole...
Directed by Banmei Takahashi, Women Prison: Vigilante Justice leans on a strong ensemble — Naomi Oka, Mayuko Hino, Mariko Kitazawa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1978.
