My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)
Two newspaper reporters are railroaded to prison for printing a story about a crooked politician. Inside, they are subjected to torture by the guards, one of them eventually dies trying to escape. The prisoners start a mass riot in a mine in support of the wronged man. The gritty scenes of prison life are undermined by weak performances by the leads and a pat ending. Any use of the name "Metcalf" in the dialogue in reference to the politician is mysteriously edited out in the TCM print.
