Kiss of the Spider Woman and maybe Escape from Alcatraz

I was expecting Midnight Express.

Irregardless of prison movie labels, it's not that easy for me to choose between A Clockwork Orange and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. Both of those films had a huge impact on me (enjoyed the books too). The Shawshank Redemption didn't affect me much.

Not really a prison movie, per se, but Cookoo is tops as was Nicholson.

A Clockwork Orange, although it's not exactly a prison movie. How about Papillon or Birdman of Alcatraz? Cuckoo and Shawshank are both decent, but killed by being overly simplistic. The two villains in Shawshank are obnoxiously one-dimensional, almost as much as the antagonist from The Green Mile. I'm don't think Darabont trusts his audience to understand conflict if there isn't an obvious villain waved in ones face.

Shawshank is a classic....
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
