IMDb Wikipedia
Young Smitty (Wendell Burton) is sent to prison for a small time drug offense. He is put in a cell with a flamboyant homosexual, a predatory homosexual and his meek sex slave. After witnessing a brutal gang rape of another prisoner, Smitty soon learns that he must submit to his cell mate for protection if he has any hope of avoiding the same fate. He soon grows tired of the forced sex and other indignities and challenges his "owner" with a fight, which he somewhat surprisingly wins. The roles reversed, Smitty becomes just as brutal as his former owner. While I can't say this was an entertaining film, it was well-acted and eye-opening, based on an autobiographical play by gay icon John Herbert.
