    I did not know this TV series at all. I just discover it. And I am highly interested in viewing the following.

    It seems all the stories of these shows are inspired from actual facts. All related with LA county jail. This episode takes place in women's can. But it's not just another women's prison film. I did not expect that. The lead - Joan Banks - is in jail for murder, she has a son, and we can feel some empathy for her. But in the same time, we can watch her being the "evil" one in search of an inmate who is an undercover cop. That's unusual, because in other prison films, the leads are always the good ones, who often fight to prove their innocence. Or, why not, the undercover cops...

    The ending is also interesting.

    I recommend it.

    Directed by Ted Post, the future director of Magnum Force.

    ***SPOILERS*** When it's suspected that a policewoman is planted among the inmates at the notorious Termenal Island Women's prison in the outskirts of L.A a plan is hatched by inmate Bonnie Benson,Joan Banks, to ice her as soon as her identity is revealed. The only clue to the undercover cops identity is her prison serial number #25587 and Benson uses every which way to find it or get her-the undercover cop-to mention it so she can do the rat-stoolie in prison talk-in.

    Benson is due to stand trail for the murder of a homeless man a charge that she claims that she was framed of by the D.A's office and her partner in crime who coped a deal with it for a lesser sentence. In fact Benson also has a 10 year old son Bobby,Bobby Clark, whom she keeps in the dark in why she's at the prison not as an inmate but as a file clerk in the warden's office so he won't know the truth about her being there!

    ***SPOILERS*** With all her attempts of finding the undercover cop going nowhere it the policewoman Kate Farley,Nora Marlowe, who gives herself away, by unknowingly revealing her prison serial number, in a harmless game of numerology that sets the by now kill crazy Bonnie Benson off! And not only Benson prove that she in fact is a murderess by attacking a startled Kate with a hot iron but ends up giving the D.A's office all the rope that it needed to hang or better yet convict her.
