Four people (Holly Dale, Shaggie, Janis Cole, and Minx), pose together in celebration of Shaggie’s release from the Prison for Women. The leftmost person is holding a beer up near their face and wearing a patterned sweatshirt with light skin and short brown hair. The next person has light skin, short brown light hair and a patterned sweater with their left arm around the person to their left holding a beer in their hand as well. The person to the right of them has long curly light brown hair. Their head is perched between the person to their left and right so you can't see their body. The last person on the far right is leaning their head over. They have light skin, short black hair parted in the middle, and wear a black top.
Description

A feature length documentary made inside Canada’s only maximum security prison — at the time of production filming in 1980. The prison was closed in 2000.
