14. Chained Heat with Linda Blair

From the trailer on YouTube:

"Linda Blair plays Carol, a young woman who must serve 18 months in prison after killing a man (by accident). The prison turns out to be brimming with decadence, corruption and sleaze, where the other female inmates are sadistic crack-selling lesbian rapists and the guards and warden are no better. Racial tensions are high as the inmates is divided into two factions, blacks and whites, who must either join together against the management or kill each other trying. A sleazy blend of sexploitation and blaxploitation make this movie a real winner"

I didn't want to post the link because I think I noticed some frontal nudity in the hot tub scene.

20. The Hill (1965)

Sean Connery broke out of his James Bond image in this strong military prison drama directed by Sidney Lumet. Unforgettable.

22. Stalag 17

William Holden - Best Actor 1953. His acceptance speech was the shortest on record "Thank you", until Alfred Hitchcock said "Thanks" upon receiving an honorary Oscar in 1968.

33. Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut (1956)

Seriously... it's a great film. Okay, that's the French title. The English title is rather ordinary "A Man Escaped" but don't let that dissuade you - it's fascinating and thrilling. One of the truly great prison films.
