SYNOPSIS

In True Story of a Woman in Hell Continues (1975), around the bend comes a new bus of women. Picking up where the last one left off Mayumi has been recaptured and is hanging around her cell floor like Sasori in the opening scene of Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 (1972). Brought out of solitary confinement she joins the rest of the population where it’s just another dayin tuna town with lady licking and dildo horseplay. The prison burned down in the first installment so it’s upgraded with an intercom system and a pink water fountain for cleaning the gals down under. Right out of orientation it ups the ante with a full on nudity packed bathhouse catfight. Aww crap there goes director Ohara with the golden showers again. The sex is amped up and the scenes longer in this installment. Akira Momoi’s script throws in a brutal double rape flashback and exterior prison sex scenes are motivated by a prison guard/yakuza pornography syndicate plotline. A few guards and officials are actually antagonist allowing Mayumi (Hitomi Kozue) to revive her miscarriage karate kick technique. This time completely nude. Woo-hoo! It all ends in a riot. Even though it’s technically better than the first film, the skimping on lesbian scenes is kind of disappointing. Hitomi Kozue isn’t given a whole lot to do here either. Until the final reel, she mostly stands around in tough poses trying to imitate her Toei counterpart. A studio decision I’m sure.

Ohara and Aoki would return with the superior New True Story of a Woman in Jail (1976).
