This is an episode people either love or they hate.

I couldn't stand Barbara Stanwyck with that accent.

Someone mentioned that you either love or hate this episode. I'm a fan of the BV but I'm afraid I didn't care for this episode. Barbara's accent was really bad and as one reviewer pointed out, The BV dedicates at least one show to prison reform every season. These people are in prison for a reason: They're being PUNISHED!

Also if the prison shown in this episode is bad, then I'm a freakin' frog!

I couldn't stand Barbara Stanwyck with that accent.

The accent was pretty bad. In my review for the episode on the IMDb, I suggested how they could have done it without her looking so silly.

I get Alias Nellie Hanley mixed up with the one when Victoria is put into an insane asylum.
