About this movie

In the middle of the night only six months before he is to be released, Leone, a model prisoner, is dragged from his bed in a minimum security prison run by Warden Drumgoole. The Warden has pulled every string he can to have Leone placed under his control, which ios where he aims to keep him for his entire life! Previously, Leone had been one of Drumgoole's "charges" at another facility until he escaped to be at his father's death bed. Drumgoole's harshness, which forced Leone to break out two weeks away from release, prompted a newspaper report that accused the warden of brutality. Leone was sentenced to additional time, while Drumgoole was publicly humiliated and transferred to Gateway, the worst facility in the prison system. Now it's time for Drumgoole to get even. His plan is to physically and psychologically intimidate Leone until he lashes out. When he does, Drumgoole wiil extend his prison sentence in "hell"... or kill him.
