WHEN THE GATE SLAMS SHUT, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM.

'... a gritty and gripping dramatic series... lots of tension...and in very unHollywood fashion, realistic.' - Variety

A tough yet sensible lesbian, Franky Doyle never got enough of anything - love, education, guidance - until she committed armed robbery and murder...and got more than she bargained for.

FRANKY'S FURY . . .

Like a parade soldier, the prison guard, Vera Bennett, came to within spitting distance of the bars of Franky's solitary cell. "Have you calmed down yet, Doyle?"

  Franky's wild taunting laughter pursued Bennett's footsteps down the hall. It went on and on, long after the corridor doors had clanged and been locked behind the grim-faced guard...
