American Me

American Me
During his 18 years in Folsom Prison, street-gang leader Santana rules over all the drug-and-murder activities behind bars. Upon his release, Santana goes back to his old neighborhood, intending to lead a peaceful, crime-free life. But his old gang buddies force him back into his old habits.

A true classic that has a crazy history for those involved with making it. Hands down the best prison movie ever made that is pretty accurate for how the California prisons used to be, though it is no longer really like that. Either way, if you haven't seen this movie then I highly recommend it.
