Prison movies and your opinion


I'm looking for recommendation for prison movies and TV Episodes (i prefer TV series, which aren't sensu stricto connected with prison, but eg. there were prison episodes (eg. "Walker, Texas Ranger" or "Renegade").

I know "Green Mile", "Shawshank Redemption", "Animal Factory" and more other, but I think that I don't know all movies, which are worth to watch.

What is your opinion connected with these movies or TV episodes?

Check out Nefarious from 2023.

Basic idea is that someone on death row claims they are a demon.

Don't let people with their own agendas scare you away from it.

If you want to watch a comedy about prison check out "Stir Crazy" (1980) .
Stars Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder...

Wentworth is pretty cool, both the original 1979 series and the newer 2013 series. Can't quite remember if I like Prison Break (2005), I think the first 2 seasons were good, but it went downhill shortly after. And I'm not sure if it counts, but The New Guy (2002) is a goofy film that's prison-adjacent if you don't only want serious stuff.
