- Synopsis:
- What happens when a young girl is sentenced to Borstal and locked away from the everyday world? Blazingly well acted by a cast including Pam St Clement, Kathy Burke, Robbie Coltrane, Miriam Margoyles and many others some of whom had actually done time, 'Scrubbers' exposes a brutal society in which the strong survive and the weak are no match for the cruelties of the system. Through the hatred of lesbian Carol and promiscuous teenage mother Annetta, we follow the endless rounds of violence, bitching and brawling that have made Britain's borstals notorious breeding grounds for crime.
