The Pridemore Juvenile Detention Facility isn’t just a place for troubled teenage girls to serve their time. Instead, it’s a living hell filled with sexual depravity and violence. Jenny, a fresh inmate, becomes the de facto protector of Lisa, an innocent young girl forced to be a plaything to anyone after her body. Then there’s Charlie, a hardened teenaged lesbian who torments her fellow prisoners through brutal acts of sexual sadism. But no one instills more fear in even the toughest girls than the sadistic Edna who, with a blind eye turned by money-hungry Warden Sutter, delights in terrorizing her beautiful prisoners. However, the girls have had enough and things are about to change at Pridemore…
From acclaimed cult filmmaker Tom DeSimone (The Concrete Jungle), REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS is a sublimely trashy and over-the-top women in prison/juvenile delinquent classic, reframed for the grimy punk sensibilities of the 1980s. Starring punk rock superstar Wendy O. Williams (Candy Goes to Hollywood), cult film legend Sybil Danning (The Red Queen Kills Seven Times), and featuring a career performance from former Warhol Superstar Pat Ast (Paul Morrissey’s Heat), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to bring REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS to Blu-ray, featuring a brand new 2K scan along with hours of exclusive extras detailing the fascinating story of how this B-movie masterpiece came to be, that’s every bit as wild as the film itself!

"A more fun version of your typical women in prison flick but done done through an 80's filter. First time watch and it was exactly what I thought it would be plus more. Humor, nudity and sleaze galore. Picture quality and sound was top notch. The behind the scenes segment about Wendy O Williams was very informative. I give it 4 out of 4 stars, check it out!"
"A very entertaining cult film with plenty of energy, style, and attitude. The presentation is strong, with a good transfer and nice packaging. It is exactly the kind of release that works well in a collector’s library."
"Excellent version of this cult classic. Best in class for sure"
"What an absolute blast. Seems like it'll be a typical Women in Prison exploitation film, but due to better production, many better than average performances and lack of outright sleaze (despite having copious amounts of nudity), this one rises above that typical fare. A banger score, an absolute treat of a mustache-twirling villain performance by Pat Ast and two, count em TWO, dummies falling to their death really elevated this one for me. I enjoyed this much more than I expected to or had any right to."
"This is some quality 80s chicks-in-prison trash. It is exactly what you would expect."
"Couldn't pass it up. Classic movie."
"I grabbed this release because there was a website-wide sale and it looked like a fun title to add to the basket. It always surprises me what VS will give a new transfer to, but if they're willing to do so, there must be something to enjoy!"
"This is such a blast. Absolutely bonkers and essential viewing for Plasmatics fans"
"One of my favorite women in prison films, full stop. Reform School Girls turns the whole genre on its head and Wendy O. Williams is an absolute legend — completely unhinged and a total delight every single second she's on screen. Really glad to finally have this one on blu-ray. A genuine gem."
"Transfer looked great, excellent performances and a insightful documentary to go with it."
