Marc Dorcel does not do "ugly." The prison in this film looks like a chic, minimalist nightclub. The inmates wear matching lingerie sets under transparent jumpsuits. The warden wears leather gloves and stiletto boots. This visual contradiction—violence vs. vanity—is the hallmark of the Dorcel brand.

The prison’s shuttering in 2012 was driven by a combination of modernization efforts, human rights advocacy, and the logistical challenges of maintaining a 170-year-old facility.
