Sweet Sugar is a 1972 blaxploitation women in prison film directed by Michel Levesque, about a woman sentenced to work on a chain gang. A prostitute, Sugar Bowman, agrees to serve two years working on a sugar-cane plantation rather than go to jail on a trumped-up drug charge. She arrives with new inmate Simone and encounters brutal guard Burgos and a maniacal plantation owner known only as Dr. John.
