Dog Pound

Dog Pound is a 2010 Canadian psychological thriller film directed and co-written by Kim Chapiron. It is a Canadian remake of the British borstal film Scum. This is Chapiron's only film to go direct-to-video. Plot Butch, Davis, and Angel are teenagers who have been sentenced to Enola Vale juvenile detention center in Montana. Correctional officer Sands does their initial intake, focusing on Butch, who has been imprisoned for attacking and blinding a correctional officer at another facility. Goodyear, a tough but fair officer, urges the new inmates to follow the rules and quietly serve their time so they can earn a second chance on the outside. At first Butch attempts to conform to the rules, but soon he and his friends are attacked by the chief bully Banks and his thugs, Eckersley and Loony. Refusing to reveal the names of his attackers, Butch is sent to solitary confinement. Once out, he immediately exacts revenge on Banks, Eckersley, and Loony. Butch saves the worst for Banks, who is savagely beaten. The beatings establish his rank among the inmates and offers temporary protection to his friends, Davis and Angel.
