Abstract: An unflinching look at prison life, writer John Herbert's drama plunges us into a sinister, brutal world where strength and intimidation rule and reason and compassion are laughed at. The central portrait is of a young man called Smitty -- sentenced to six months for smoking pot -- who quickly learns that self-preservation means becoming the sexual slave to a stonger inmate. Pulled inexorably into the ugliness and hopelessness, Smitty survives. But at what price? -- Container.
