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 Oz. Great prison drama from the 90s.
Brubaker and Cool Hand Luke are a couple of my favorite prison movies. Check them out sometime.
My personal favorite is Women’s Prison Massacre (1983) starring Laura Gemser as Emanuelle.

Speaking of Ilsa, of all her films I think I like Ilsa: Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks (1976) the best. It’s so damn weird and Haji is in the cast. Not technically a women in prison film, but close enough. 😀
