Life in a woman's prison in Argentina, and what a life it is, and what a nasty ass bunch of women. Guys ain't got nothin' on these bitches.

Story opens with a small group of women being transported to prison in a van. One of the women is the girlfriend of a for-real gangster and he stages an attack on the convoy. The van goes off the road and into a river. Boyfriend has a boat, swoops up to the van and rescues his girl but leaves the others chained up in the rapidly sinking van. One older broad manages to get hold of the keys and manages to unlock most of the other women who all swim to shore.

I'm thinking the boyfriend is a for-real shithead. How can you abandon a bunch of women who are likely to drown in this situation? Then I realize, the women are not part of his tribe, so he doesn't care. He's a savage, and he's at war. You're not part of his tribe, so screw you.

Inside the prison, the prisoners are divided into different groups. One is for women who are pregnant or have kids. Women are allowed to keep their kids up till age five, then they go to foster homes. Another group is making porn videos ala Andrew Tate. There are a couple of other groups. Never did figure out exactly what their deal was. Drugs and housekeeping, maybe.

La Borges, the older broad, was part of a criminal organization and understands how these things work. Not much later, Galacia, the gal who escaped, is apprehended and is brought to this same prison. Needless to say, there is bad blood between her and the others who escaped the van. Galacia is vicious and means to be top dog in the prison. Borges is trying organize her girls to stand against her, but it's hard to make an effective team when some of her girls are not too bright, not to mention flakey. 

The show is pretty amazing.

P. S. Supposedly you can turn on subtitles AND choose the language in embedded YouTube videos, but I haven't been able to make it work. Turning on the subtitles works, but selecting the language doesn't. Might be Bloggers fault, mucking with the special characters.
