The story

During the 1920s, long before the 1944 California prison reform, Warden Ben Rickey rules Folsom Prison with a ruthless hand. He believes that prisons should be used for punishment rather than for rehabilitation to reduce recidivism. His methods are violent, torturous and intended to beat the prisoners into submission.
