Prison movies

[Shiranai_Baka]

I'm doing this project for police science so I'm looking for some prison movies since my theme is prison life. Does anyone have suggestions?

oldboy
shawshank redemption
green mile

by the way why dont you go visit a prison, police station, interview people.
instead of writing a report based on prison movies?
youll probably learn more from the former

Blood in Blood out.

Shawshank Redemption :thumbsup:

Lol he WANTS us to give him a film to show in class (from the way he tells us about the assignment, he just wants to see our preference of movies.)

[Santa]

oh ok
sorry :lol:

but then again why not kicks ass
grab a camera and make a fast documentary about a police station + interviews etc

[Shiranai_Baka]

Lol, are those all the suggestions?

I was hoping for something other than shawshank.

It would be strecthing the prison theme a little but Scum (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079871/) is a great film set in a British Borstal (where young offenders were sent).


This is the hard and shocking story of life in a British Borstal for young offenders. Luckily the regime has changed since this film was made. The brutal regime made no attempt to reform or improve the inmates and actively encouraged a power struggle between the 'tough' new inmate and the 'old hands'. The film was originally made as a BBC play but it was banned before ever being shown. So 'Alan Clarke' and Roy Minton got it re-made as a film. This is a tough and brutal film and should not be viewed lightly.

There are no recent films from the 90s and up? I'm trying to get something other than shawshank redemption because its an obvious choice and I'm trying to stay away from the obvious.

[Shiranai_Baka]
