Jailbait DVD Summary Acclaimed playwright Brett C.

Leonard makes his feature-film debut as the writer and director of the prison drama, Jailbait, which was inspired, in part, by Leonard's feelings about mandatory sentencing laws.

Randy (Michael Pitt of The Dreamers) is a young prisoner, recently sentenced to 25 years.

His new cellmate is Jake (Stephen Adly-Guirgis, also a respected New York playwright, and the star of Todd Solondz's Palindromes), a hardened lifer.

Randy seems despondent, and is reluctant to speak to Jake at all, but the older con gives him a book to read and is generous with advice.

Gradually, Randy opens up.

He's been convicted of vandalizing an expensive car.

The sentence was severe because it was his third offense.

His other two convictions were for possession of large quantities of marijuana.

But Jake refuses to feel sorry for Randy, telling him that he was stupid for committing another crime when he knew his situation.

Eventually, Jake's friendly cajoling turns to bullying.

By the time Randy's mother (Laila Robins) comes to visit him, he has to hide the visible signs of Jake's abuse.

When Randy's efforts to regain control of his prison life are thwarted, he considers taking more drastic action.

Jailbait had its world premiere at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival.
