Scum (1979)
Carlin viene trasferito in un nuovo, duro riformatorio per aver aggredito una guardia. All'inizio mantiene un profilo basso, ma presto diventa il boss dei giovani che devono scontare la pena nell'istituto.Alan Clarke raffigura la brutalità della vita all'interno di un riformatorio britannico alla fine degli anni Settanta. E lo fa con grande forza. Un pugno nello stomaco ben assestato, un atto d'accuso diretto ed efficace nei confronti di un sistema in cui non si scorge nessun tentativo di riabilitazione, che anzi produce il più delle volte effetti contrari facendo diventare veri criminali giovani colpevoli di piccoli reati. Violenza, strupro, suicidio, sopraffazione, umiliazione, razzismo.
