Profoundly moving look at the social and prison system through the eyes of a troubled young girl
An extremely moving, emotional rollercoaster of a debut novel about circumstances and consequences. Clare Fisher has done a superb job in writing about how poverty and lack of support can have a devastating impact on a person's life. The story slowly unfolds to reveal how the protagonist ultimately ends up in prison through various tragic experiences and desperate situations that she finds herself trapped within. It seems apparent that she's as much a victim in many ways despite being incarcerated.
Keep the tissues at hand, this empathetic beautiful story will have you bawling your eyes out.

I love this game! Building and designing your prison, your prisoners can live in a tiny basic cell or a very luxurious cell, you have to plan the Regim right otherwise you’ll have a riot on your hands
You can select what type of warden to have at the beginning of the game, select male or female prisoners, compete your grants. Make sure cash flow doesn’t go too into the red. Hours and hours of fun!
Lose control of your prison then bye bye
You can be a prisoner trying to escape..
I play on the pc version but that’s not an option to choose on here

A decent low budget indie flick made in Northern Ireland. It has some well known faces like Rachael Taylor (Transformers) and a great location, an old disused prison which genuinely looks creepy. The film has a nice idea, a virtual reality battle simulation used by the army is borrowed for a gaming session. The only problem that as well as mapping the old prison to play in the game it also picks up a ghost with revenge in mind. Considering the budget the effects are ok. It reminded me a bit of Stay alive and more recently Gamer. Overall a good effort on a low budget, the DVD has a 30 minute making of as well!

Escape Plan- takes two big actons stars and throws them into a prison and escape it. Opps did i spoil it. Its in the title.
The Plot: Tough and chiseled Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) knows how to infiltrate a prison -- and bust out of one. His latest job leads to a double-cross, leaving him stuck in a high-tech facility with the worst that society has to offer. Luckily for Ray, he meets Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), an inmate who secretly helps him hatch a plot to win his freedom. Only sadistic warden Hobbes (Jim Caviezel) stands in the way of the two men successfully making it out alive.
I would highly reccordmend this movie.

A Continuation of Greatness
Ditches the prison setting and places our characters on the run. The scope of the plot has been wildly increased. New characters round out the cast each with their own motivations. We get a very grand game of cat and mouse.
The show continues to keep you on the edge of your seat. Shocking character deaths and big moments that change the pace for the rest of the season pop up regularly. The big risks it takes, make for a more tense and enjoyable season.
While the tense, tight, and dangerous corridors of the prison are missed, the writers show that they can keep viewers interested and fearing for their favorite characters even with a bigger playground. This immediately creates more interest and intrigue.
It's an expansion and improvement on what was an already excellent show.
The concepts and characterizations are greater than ever, and the complex nature of a prison escape comes flowing with liquid tension, and at all times it grips you with a curious state of empathy.
