        A Canadian documentary called P4W (Prison for Women) is a good
documentary to have a look at. Most women in prison movies are otherwise
from a decidedly masculine pov.
        Another Canadian movie to consider is Les ordres, a
pseudo-documentary done a la Bergman and Kafka.
        Most prison movies are pretty generic; any book on crime films will
alert you to stuff like Big House and Bird Man of Alcatraz, to mention only
two.
