counting down our picks for the top 10
movie prisons some yeah and I’m talking

junga for this list we’ve scoured
through the ranks to find the most
unforgiving unrivaled and unique prisons
in feature films you’ve got that you
Megan big mother that’s feature films
and not TV so sorry Piper Chapman say
goodbye number 10 the kiln guardians of
the galaxy kicking off our list is
everyone’s favorite inescapable
stronghold RM well that’s just as
fascinating as the first 89 times you
told me that made up of a series of
spheres the kiln is used for housing the
most deadly and destructive criminals in
the galaxy including former WWE
Superstar Bautista
nor once being nothing to me this
massive structure is kept together by
flying robots guards with security bands
embedded in their arms and a gigantic
watch tower overlooking the entire place
you see it yeah there’s a Quan Dex
battery behind it
purplish box green wise to get into that
watch now I definitely inmates are given
a life expectancy of less than three
years but don’t worry you can still
listen to hooked on a feeling while
you’re there that song belongs to me
that’s it tell me talk about it you’ve
wanted up huh
number nine the private prison old boy
tell her I’m an almighty buck okay done
well you picked on mommy it’s reaching
I’m done here’s one for you imagine
you’re taken away from your home your
family and your life only to be locked
in a tightly kept hotel room with no way
of knowing if you’ll ever be let out
Duncan I didn’t I’m cutting this shit
jingle Smith me that not to mention
being drugged and tortured for 15 years
old boys private prison is less about a
criminal sentence and more about
destroying the prisoners mind whether
you’re talking about the Korean cult hit
or the American remake you can’t deny
the complete lack of hospitality in this
place number eight the pit The Dark
Knight Rises your punishment must be
more severe not every prison comes with
its own obvious escape route but that’s
what makes this entry so interesting
serving as a death sentence for its
inmates the only means of escape is to
conquer the perilous climb up the pit to
freedom over its lifetime it’s shifted
ownership from a Warlord’s personal
playpen to the League of Shadows is
literal helpful this investor by ah
protruding from your back it has to be
put back regardless of who’s in charge
the pit is best known for its deadly
riots and plagues as well as housing
some of Gotham’s greatest threats yet
despite all that it still gets great TV
reception
number seven Manhattan Island escape
from New York the once great city of New
York becomes the one maximum security
prison for the entire country in the
harsh dystopian future of 1997 New
York’s finest attraction has been
transformed into the most grueling
maximum-security prison in the world
falling its construction in 1988 after a
natural disaster inmates are given a
life sentence to be served inside the
lawless lamenting and loathsome
captivity if a lifetime on a devastating
island isn’t for you you can always opt
in for assisted suicide beforehand
choice is yours you now have the option
determinate and being cremated on the
premise not an easy choice if you will
like this option notify the duty
sergeant in your process and carry
number six air one prison face off what
if you could walk into air one prison
and give Pollux a nice big brotherly hug
as castor Troy
I have no idea what you’re talking about
here we’re given a delightfully new spin
on the prison system in this film’s
version of present-day 1997 fittingly an
anagram for the word know where this
particular slammer is based on an
offshore drilling platform in the middle
of nowhere you are now the property of
erawan prison a citizen of nowhere the
Geneva Convention is void here not only
that but inmates are forced to wear
heavy magnetic boots at all times so the
guards can lock them down for
interrogation or if a massive prison
riot breaks out this entire prisons one
big magnetic field the boots tell us
where you are
little-known fact the boots themselves
were originally worn by the goombas in
the super mario brothers movie there’s a
classic how can I get these boots off
they only take them off in the clinic
all right before they fry your skull
number five you repent a Star Trek 6 the
undiscovered country this is the gulag
crew repenting
there is no stockade no god tower no
Electronic Frontier buried deep in an
icy landscape these unlucky prisoners
are forced to carry out a mining
operation in search of the precious
series staple dilithium crystals unlike
every other entry on this list there is
no security inside or outside the mine
aside from a magnetic field to prevent
prisoners from being beamed away surely
you could just walk out right punishment
means exile from prison to the surface
on the surface
nothing can survive well since nothing
can survive on the planet’s surface
you’re better off keeping your head down
and doing your time I know how to get
outside the shield how do we fit in
getting outside the shield is easy but
after that it’s up to you to get us off
the surface before we freeze can you
it’s passable
number four Shawshank State Penitentiary
the Shawshank Redemption
welcome to Shawshank disrespect and
disdain for its delinquents is the
plague of this classic prison with a
warden who’s probably got more corrupt
intentions than any of his prisoners
ever did
Shawshank sin mates are left to the
mercy of its violent guards most notably
captain Hadley played by Clancy Brown
you will shut up or I’ll sing you a
lullaby hope and humanity are all the
keep handy and read alive in their
frightful life struggling desperately
against the corrupt officials as for us
we’ll take Clancy Brown as a greedy mr.
crab over a prison guard any day

government’s gonna do to me take a big
wet bite out of my ass is what number
three Azkaban Harry Potter franchise
often spoken of but rarely shown this
mysterious prison houses some of the
most vicious magical murderers in the
Wizarding World that serious black guys
in use since the 18th century Azkaban is
guarded by the grim reaper like
Dementors who already of questionable
loyalty punch down any and all escapees
a word of caution
Dementors are vicious creatures they
will not distinguish between the one
they hunt on the one who gets in their
way
anyone who does escape is submitted to
the Dementors kiss whereby the soul is
sucked straight from the person’s body
a little on the flexible side Azkaban
has suffered two massive breakouts in
1996 and 1997 Wow 1997 not a good year
for incarceration how did they escape
well that’s the question isn’t it each
the first one that Daddy

perfect prison this is where escape
artist ray Breslin meets his match
transparency is the key as cells are
