Dog Pound Movie Summary

Enola Vale juvenile detention center in Montana houses teenagers Butch, Davis, and Angel, who have all been sentenced to serve their time there. Upon arrival, the intake process is carried out by Correctional officer Sands, who pays special attention to Butch, having been imprisoned for attacking and blinding a correctional officer at another facility.

Officer Goodyear, known for being tough but fair, advises the new inmates to obey the rules and serve their time quietly in order to earn a chance at rehabilitation. Butch initially attempts to conform to the rules, but soon he and his friends are targeted by the head bully, Banks, and his cohorts, Eckersley and Loony.

Butch refuses to reveal the names of his attackers and is subsequently sent to solitary confinement. When he is released, he exacts revenge on Banks, Eckersley, and Loony, and secures his position among the inmates, providing temporary protection to Davis and Angel.

During a routine job, Angel and Goodyear get into a physical altercation, resulting in Angel being thrown against a wall and hitting his head on some pipes. He later dies at the hospital. Butch, who witnessed the altercation, is placed in solitary confinement while an investigation is conducted.

Without Butch’s protection, Davis is raped by Loony and Eckersley. Davis tries to contact his mother during the night but is denied by the officer on duty, who tells him to wait until morning. Feeling helpless, Davis commits suicide by slitting his wrists.

The deaths of Angel and Davis lead to a hunger strike in their dormitory during breakfast. After a confrontation in the cafeteria, Butch loses control and starts a full-blown prison riot, attacking Loony. The detention officers are overwhelmed, and they return in riot gear, using tear gas and plastic bullets in an attempt to end the riot. Butch attempts to escape during the chaos but is caught and beaten by the prison officers moments later, and is dragged back into the building.
