Exclusive Cool Video: Top 10 Movie Prisons To Avoid

Will Ferrell‘s character in GET HARD is heading to prison and feels he needs a guide to prepare him for the arduous journey to the Big House. He chooses Kevin Hart who doesn’t know much about prison himself, but does his best to train his new employer. If prison were in the cards for any of us, the best idea of what it would be like would likely come from the movies. With that in mind, here is our ranking of the ten movie prisons you would not want to be stuck in.

Keep in mind, we aren’t listing the best prison movies but rather the places we would not want to end up. Some of these places are because of the guards and jailers and others are about the other inmates and what they could (and will) do to you. In other cases, the prison itself is a terrible place to be. So check out the video below and see if we hit all of the worst jails in movie history. If we missed one, make sure to add it to the talk backs below.
