Carandiru is one of my faves.
shareThe unjustly neglected late 70's film "On the Yard" is quite good. Ditto the made-for-TV movie "The Glass Cage" with Alan Alda and Vic Morrow.
I'm a totally bitchin' bio writer from Mars!
"Ghosts...of the Civil Dead" ... it's amazing but so very effed up. Definitely worth the watch but not for the faint hearted.
shareI've seen nearly all the prison films mentioned on this thread. Two wonderful prison escape films I'd like to mention - both French & B&W - are Bresson's A Man Escaped and the even better Jacques Becker classic Le Trou. As far as realistic prison film goes, I don't think Ghosts of the Civil Dead can be matched or repeated. Be warned: it is an extremely unpleasant film to view, in fact its one of the most disturbing pieces of film ever made on any subject!
Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean..neither tarnished nor afraid..
