Best prison shows and movies (My opinion):

  • Shawshank Redemption
  • Oz
  • Mayor of Kingstown
  • Shot Caller
  • 60 Days In
  • Orange is the New Black
  • Wentworth
  • The Green Mile
  • The Rock
  • Cool Hand Luke
  • Sleepers
  • The Great Escape
  • American History X

I put these in no particular order except to say Shawshank Redemption is #1 and there is not a close 2nd.
