A most engrosing epistle!
Scum is an excellent portrayal of the brutalization of young offenders in a borstal. There is way more to this film than violence though with some very entertaining and even funny…

‘There is NO violence in this institution’…
The original 1977 version of Roy Minton’s SCUM remains one of the most notorious TV productions ever made.
