''Women in prison film'' (or WiP) is a subgenre of exploitation film that began in the late 1960s and continues to the present day. Their stories feature imprisoned women who are subjected to sexual and physical abuse, typically by sadistic male or female prison wardens, guards and other inmates. The genre also features many films in which imprisoned women engage in lesbian sex. WiP films are works of fiction intended as pornography. The flexible format, and the loosening of film censorship laws in the 1960s, allowed filmmakers to depict more extreme fetishes, such as voyeurism (strip searches, group shower scenes, catfights), sexual fantasies (lesbianism, rape, sexual slavery), fetishism (bondage, whipping, degradation), and sadism (beatings, torture, cruelty). Prior to these films, the only expression of pornographic women in prison was found in "true adventure" men's magazines such as ''Argosy'' in the 1950s and 1960s, although it is possible that Denis Diderot's novel ''The Nun'' anticipated the genre. Nazis tormenting damsels in distress were particularly common in these magazines. ==Recurring plot elements== Most women-in-prison films employ the same stock characters and formulaic situations which have since become cinematic cliches. Such scenes usually include: * an innocent girl (or group) being sent to a penitentiary or reform school run by a male or lesbian warden (who may also run an inmate prostitution ring) * group strip searches * lesbian sex scenes between prisoners and the guards, or the female prisoners being raped (or forced into prostitution) by male guards * female prisoners being sentenced to hard labor (such as scrubbing floors or digging dirt holes while nude) * fights between the prisoners (sometimes in the shower) * beatings and punishment by guards * female prisoners being sprayed by a firehose The story usually concludes with an uprising or escape sequence in which the villains are killed. Occasionally a new inmate is an undercover reporter investigating corruption as in ''Bare Behind Bars'' or a government agent sent to rescue a political prisoner (''Caged Heat 2'', ''Love Camp 7''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Women in prison film」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
