Scum

A British borstal for young offenders operates by its own brutal laws. Within its walls, institutional violence is the currency and survival the only true objective. New arrivals, like Carl and Davis, quickly learn that the official rulebook is meaningless. Real power lies with the inmate "Daddies" who terrorize the newcomers and the sadistic wardens who exploit the system for their own gratification. Every day becomes a raw struggle for dignity and physical safety in an institution designed to reform but which only succeeds in further dehumanizing those within its grip.
