Not a silent film, but a film from 1955, which, though fiction, was done in a documentary style which helped expose the brutality of women's prisons in the US and helped lead to some reform. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047875/ The hosing is obviously fun for wetlook fans to watch but it was a brutal dehumanizing punishment - the water would have been freezing and it would hit the body with considerable force, causing a great deal of pain and discomfort. The prisoners targeted would not have gained any pleasure from the experience. AC

OMG! the first Chicks in Prison movie?

What is that movie? It looks to me like its from the 40's (it's a talkie, after all). What hysterical overacting! It looks like a feeble squirt from a garden hose, yet she's rolling across the yard like it's a firehose. That is quite a historical artifact!

Here's a fun scene I came across from what looks like a movie made back in the days of the Edison wax cylinder:
