This dull tale of prison reform stars Kelly as the new warden of San Quentin. He introduces improvements that help rehabilitate the inmates. Hayward is hard and brutal until kindly nurse Dru coaxes some humanity out of him. Contrived and pat, the film was based on a book by the real-life Duffy. Sequel: THE STEEL CAGE.
