I would make it #2 on my list after Shawshank, The Green Mile 3rd and bump Cool Hand Luke. VERY tough call between In the Name of the Father and Shawshank for #1, though. 
Me either till I saw this thread....So I downloaded a copy....Maybe it was good when it was first made but.....I was so bored an hour in I just kept zipping it ahead to see if there was anything to keep my attention.....Nothing.
That movie is nowhere near Shawshank. 
As far as prison-related movies go.....The Dirty Dozen could be added to the list above. 
Tango and Cash was entertaining for it's time.
