The Slammer on Screen

[CountDeMoney]

and 'Against the Wall' (story of Attica prison riot with Samuel L.Jackson) ?

Saw that on cable not too long ago.  Pretty good retelling.

[Sophie Scholl]

Shawshank with Cool Hand coming in a close second of the ones listed.

[Josquius]

Prison Break's first series was awesome. Voted that as it is the only one actually in prison....(well....they go back but....no).

No Scum? Porridge?

[katmai]

Cool Hand Luke with Shawshank close 2nd.

[Josephus]

Any movie with a realistic depiction of female gang showers is fine by me.

Agreed.

Let's start with 99 women.

Followed by a healthy dose of Caged Heat

And finish with Reform School Girls-- if only cause it stars former punk rocker Wendy O. Williams.

There's plenty more where these came from.

Australian women's prison drama Prisoner Cell Block H and its shaky sets saw me through university lunchtimes.

Playing pool and drinking pints of milk, saw me through those and most of the afternoons as well.
