Synopsis | No Holds Barred (1979)
Reporter Ian Leslie follows a young offender through a day in Parramatta Prison in which veteran convicts undertake to show him just how hard prison life can be. The potential delinquent is warned in strong terms about the possibility of homosexual rape, of bashings and other cold facts of prison life. It's part of a plan known as the Recidivist Program in which old cons try to dissuade young people from a life of crime.
