Cool Hand Luke! Author is Donn Pearce. Also The Chamber by John Grisham – not exactly set in prison but is about a young lawyer trying to save a man on death row; an excellent story. For nonfiction I recommend another Grisham, The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice on a Small Town.

On The Edge of Lost by Kristina McMorris. Takes place on Alcatraz. I haven’t read it yet, but heard it was great.
