At an unconventional prison (where inmates can dress normal and get all sorts of privledges) eight inmates are brought in by wishy-washy psychatrist James Coco and watched over by warden Paul Benedict for an "experimental" reform program. Soon however it's revealed that twenty years earlier during a riot the former warden was killed in the electric chair by the inmates and now he's back for revenge (especially against Benedict who was a guard at the time and failed to save him).

Similar to 1987's Prison (which is a much better film); this tries for more character development than the norm but can't quite work due to the over-acting on hand, a really cheesy "eyeball in lightbulb" effect, a decided lack of scare scenes/gore (though one guard does lose a hand), chintzy "killer electricity" scenes and a really weak finale. Plus considering the inmates are supposed to be "hardened criminals" that are in the program as a last resort - they're certainly friendly enough.

Skippable.
