Prison; a place we all hope never to end up in (or maybe some do so they finally have time to catch up to all those movies on their watchlist), but it's a place many like to watch movies about.
Prison movies are simply said films that focus on life in prison and/or the escape from prison. Please keep this in mind when making your list, not all movies featuring a prison or a character in or ending up in prison are Prison movies. To be considered a Prison movie "the prison" has to be the primary or at least a majors subject of the movie.
