Riot in Juvenile Prison is a 1959 film directed by Edward L. Cahn and starring Jerome Thor and Scott Marlowe.

[1] A radical plan is enacted when Dr. Paul Furman is assigned by the governor to take charge of a youth reformatory, replacing Colonel Walton, with a notion to offer inmates more trust.

Not only does Furman ease the institution's usual strict discipline, he changes it from an all-boy detention facility to co-ed.

Juvenile delinquent Eddie Bassett observes with interest as new female inmates like Kitty and Babe arrive along with adult supervisors Grace Hartwell and Bess Monahan, who will look after the girls.

Various misdeeds lead to the governor's firing Furman and restoring Walton and the previous routine of discipline.
