>I am currently trying to work out some skeletons for a course on prisons >and asylums [etc] 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.
