To tease her "boys" a little more, prison warden Miss Muncher
(Honey Bane) sends them a drug counsellor, Carol (Debra Chat). Now there's
no doubt there are drugs in Muncher's prison ward, but fact is, none of
the inmates see it as a problem, actually it helps them fight the boredom
of prison routine and forget that they are locked in. Still, Carol does
her best to explain to her three "patients" - Aj (Renee Maddox),
Ben (Sky James) and ever-mischievious Darrell (Wade Radford) - that drugs
are bad, and every high will result in a powerful comedown, but the boys
won't listen, because there's one thing Carol does not know: Aj and Ben
have a steady supply of drugs that keep them high all of the time, and
Darrell ... well, he is actually not a user, but he's the drugpusher of
the ward. There's another thing too that Carol doesn't know: Miss Muncher
is Darrell's accomplice, providing him with drugs from the outside, and
together they run the ward. And naturally, there's one thing they could do
without, and that's a state-employed drug counsellor. So while Miss
Muncher turns a blind eye, Darrell, Aj and Ben overcome Carol, torture her
both mentally and physically, and finally Darrell tells her she can only
get out of here once she has killed one of the gang. Since all three guys
are armed, and she is physically no match for either of them, this is
pretty much an impossible task ... but it wouldn't be Darrell if he hadn't
his own inferior motives - that of course lead to disastrous results ... Like
the previous movies of the series, Boys Behind Bars 3 is certainly
not a film for everyone: It's loud, it's offensive, it certainly doesn't
shy away from violence, and quite bluntly put, you might not always like
what you see and hear. But to describe Boys Behind Bars 3 as
nothing more than a tale of sex and violence would mean falling several
feet short of grasping the film: Sure it's explicit, it's a tad trashy
even, and self-consciously so, but there's also tons of psychological
powerplay involved in the story that might be merciless but quite powerful
nevertheless, and the film has a definite build-up of tension and suspense
to it that's quite simply hard to escape. Plus Wade Radford is just so
likeably despicable as Darrell yet again that you can't help but root for
him bringing more evil to everyone ...
