Some of the best prison movies seem to be set outside U.S.

MidnightExpress , Papillion, BrokedownPalace(also good GratefulDead tune)

Caged Heat- set in womans prison starring LindaBlair, most of the fight scenes take place in showers or the first thing they do when theres a knife fight is take off their prison shirts.

Yea man Schindlers List was a great movie.... I love Liam Neeson and this was probably the best roll he has even played... Very real but sad movie.....  Also enjoyed Liam Neeson in Taken.... Classic
