Jacktown (1962)
"Was He Born To Be Bad?!"...
7 May 2021
JACKTOWN is the nickname for Jackson prison, where Frankie (Richard Meade) is sent for his crime. Doing time isn't easy for Frankie, since he's the new fish, finding himself among hardened criminals. Due to the nature of his offense, Frankie soon realizes that he's the target of his fellow inmates.

Enter the lovely, young Margaret (Patty McCormack!), who takes an interest in Frankie. She also happens to be the warden's daughter! Can this angel of mercy convince Frankie to go straight?

A fairly solid, low-budget offering, the story is simple, and Meade and McCormack are a decent pair.

The moral of the story seems to be: If you commit crimes and go to prison, a beautiful woman will come along and make your life wonderful...
