- Quotes
Mr. Johnson: [Last lines] Won't they try to escape ?
Governor: Well, of course they'll try to escape, and why not? Aren't we all of us trying to escape from some prison of our own making ?
[Looking out of the window]
Governor: There is it Johnson, the wheat and the chaff.
Mr. Johnson: Yes sir. But the thing is, which is which ?
Governor: No, Johnson, the thing is to find out what is the chaff, and why.

Featured review
Excellent film
At the time of making this film Borstals had inmates up to the age of 23, so the actors look right for the parts they play. One of the inmates in the film is married and has 2 children so the critics who say the actors are too old are wrong.
