The film Death Race is a polemic against privatized prisons set in an impoverished, de-industria- lized United States of America that has become a police state: the year is 2012. The film is produced by Roger Corman. The inmates of Terminal Island are held in an artificial island prison connected by a long narrow bridge to land.. To make a profit the warden, a woman always referred to as „M'am“ by the terrorized inmates, contracts them out to participate in televised anything goes races with armor plated vehicles that can withstand heavy machinegun fire. The winner in these ratings driven races is promised his freedom and the losers die in horrible ways.
