A setting such as a prison, jail, work farm, or what have you is fertile fodder for drama, character, and plot in a story. So it's no surprise that there have been a lot of films made with that setting as a centerpiece.
Gunaxin has compiled a list of the fifteen best, including one I would be riveted to every time it aired on HBO in the 80's: Bad Boys starring Sean Penn, which landed at number seven on the list.

Shortly after portraying everyone’s favorite surfer dude Jeff Spicoli, Penn signed up to play a teen hood sent to a rough and tumble juvenile detention center reserved for the baddest of the bad. Gritty and brutal, this movie is not for the faint of heart.

Classic!
Slaughterhouse Five
O Brother Where Art Thou
Schindler's List
Life is Beautiful
Two of my favorites that are on the list:
The Green Mile
The Shawshank Redemption
And I too was glad to see my top two in the top two.
Bridge over River Kwai.
Along with Blood In, Blood Out.
I haven't seen either of them in over 10 years so they could be shit now, still, I'll stick with them out of stubbornness
