Plot

[edit]

A formerly rich socialite is convicted of driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter and now spends her life in a frightening section of the El Camino Women's Detention Center.

Spinoff

[edit]

Willow B: Women in Prison was a spinoff for an unproduced American version of Prison, an Australian television series.[1]

Critical reception

[edit]

The Washington Post wrote "Whoooo -- hot stuff! ABC, which has always had sleaze at the bottom of its heart, unloads an unsold serial pilot Sunday night called "Willow B: Women in Prison" that makes "Dallas" look like "Little House on the Prairie.""[1]
