despite the poster everybody in this makes a big deal about how their advanced techno superprison (which looks just like a high school) has cells "without any bars" (so they can film in a high school)

theres orville ketchum, some pre-911 false flag/anti-arab war stuff, the bad guy is z man from beyond the valley of the dolls and he looks like david byrne or anthony bourdain. a guy calls oil "a couple of gallons of dead dinosaur" and the prison is called innsmouth. possible inspo for the final joke of macgruber and a kinda cool loooking ending with a factory conveyor belt thats like a sonic 2 level but otherwise its kind of a snooze

Maximum Security aka Maximum Revenge is a late-90s Fred Olen Ray action flick. For reasons that made no sense to me, a cop is sent to prison. Not only was it a prison but it was a state of the art maximum-security prison in the middle of Los Angeles. This is when the fun starts. In many ways, Maximum Security is Die Hard in a prison. That is if Die Hard had ridiculous lines and even more ridiculous of a plot. Terrorists break into the maximum-security prison and plan to detonate a bomb. It is mindless but I had a lot more fun watching this movie than I expected.

Another Die Hard rip off and Another failed attempt at making a film as hood as that a cheap late 90's action film that's ment to be in a state of the art maximum security prison that obviously isn't one.

There is nothing on screen that looks like a prison and the security there is non existent, one guard on the gate, no locked doors, the main control room that anyone can walk into and the plot to blow the prison up????? WHY!!!!

A stupid film but I had fun with it and it's 2 sofcore sex scenes;)

Major findings from this study on the impact of providing college educations to women incarcerated in a maximum-security prison include the following: 1) college-in-prison reduces reincarceration rates and saves taxpayer money; 2) college-in-prison enables positive management of the prison environment; and 3) college-in-prison transforms the lives of students and their children and promotes lasting transitions out of prison. This study was conducted to determine the impact that college-in-prison programs have on incarcerated individuals by evaluating the college-in-prison program reintroduced in 1997 at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility (BHCF) in Westchester County, NY. The evaluation focused on several themes: the impact of college on women while inside prison, the effect of college on the prison environment and other inmates, and the effect of a mother's college experience on her children; and the long-term effects of college on the economic, social, and civic engagements of women once released from prison. The program at BHCF was chosen for the study because it is one of only 8 out of 350 college-in-prison programs still operating in the country following passage of legislation in 1994 that removed incarcerated individuals' access to Pell grants. The study was conducted over 3 years and involved archival analysis of prison records, inmate initiated research on the impact of college, focus group interviews, individual interviews, interviews with corrections administrators and officers, focus group interviews and surveys of educators, quantitative tracking of women who attended college while in prison and a comparison group of women who did not attend college while in prison, and cost/benefit analysis of the College Bound Program. The findings from the study lend strong support to the idea that college-in-prison programs provide positive benefits by reducing reincarceration and crime rates, cutting the tax burden of prison construction and maintenance, and building stronger communities.

Escape from New York is a 1981 American independent science fiction action film co-written, co-scored and directed by John Carpenter, and starring Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau and Harry Dean Stanton.

The film's storyline, set in the near-future world of 1997, concerns a crime-ridden United States, which has converted Manhattan Island in New York City into the country's sole maximum security prison. Air Force One is hijacked by anti-government insurgents who deliberately crash it into the walled borough. Ex-Special Forces and current federal prisoner Snake Plissken (Russell)[4] is given just 24 hours to go in and rescue the President of the United States, after which, if successful, he will be pardoned.

Carpenter wrote the film in the mid-1970s in reaction to the Watergate scandal. After the success of Halloween (1978), he had enough influence to begin production and filmed it mainly in St. Louis, Missouri, on an estimated budget of $6 million.[3][5] Debra Hill and Larry J. Franco served as the producers. The film was co-written by Nick Castle, who had collaborated with Carpenter by portraying Michael Myers in Halloween.

Released in the United States on July 10, 1981, the film received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, grossing more than $25.2 million at the box office.[3] The film was nominated for four Saturn Awards, including Best Science Fiction Film and Best Direction. The film became a cult classic and was followed by a sequel, Escape from L.A. (1996), which was also directed and written by Carpenter and starred Russell.

In a dystopian 1988, amidst war between the United States and an alliance of China and the Soviet Union, Manhattan has been converted into a maximum security prison to address a 400% increase in crime. The island is walled off from the outside world and under heavy police surveillance.

In 1997, while flying President John Harker to a peace summit in Hartford, Air Force One is hijacked by a terrorist. The President is handcuffed with a briefcase and put into an escape pod that drops into Manhattan as the aircraft crashes.

Police are dispatched to rescue the President. Romero, a subordinate of the Duke of New York, a powerful crime boss, warns the President has been captured and will be killed if any further rescue attempts are made. Meanwhile, former Special Forces soldier Snake Plissken is about to be imprisoned in Manhattan after being convicted of robbing the Federal Reserve. Police Commissioner Bob Hauk offers a deal to Snake: if he rescues the President in time for the summit, Hauk will arrange a presidential pardon. To ensure his cooperation, Hauk has Snake injected with micro-explosives that will sever his carotid arteries in 22 hours. If Snake is successful, Hauk will neutralize the explosives.

Snake uses a stealth glider to land atop the World Trade Center, then follows the signal of the President's tracking device to a vaudeville theater, only to find that the tracker now hangs from the wrist of a deluded vagrant. Convinced the President is dead, Snake radios Hauk but is told he will be killed if he returns without the President. Inspecting the escape pod, Snake is ambushed by dozens of starving "crazies" and his radio is destroyed. He is rescued by "Cabbie", a jovial character who drives a taxi.

Cabbie takes Snake to Harold "Brain" Hellman, an adviser to the Duke and a former associate of Snake's. An engineer by trade, Brain has established a small gasoline refinery fueling the city's remaining cars; he tells Snake that the Duke plans to lead a mass escape across the 69th Street Bridge by using the President as a human shield. Snake forces Brain and his girlfriend Maggie to lead him to the Duke's hideout at Grand Central Terminal. Snake finds the President but gets shot in the leg with a crossbow bolt and is overpowered by the Duke's men.

While Snake is forced to fight against Duke's champion Slag in a deathmatch, Brain and Maggie kill Romero and flee with the President. Snake kills Slag and finds the trio trying to escape in the glider. Inmates drop the glider off the roof, forcing the group back down to street level where Cabbie offers to take them across the bridge. Cabbie reveals that he bartered with Romero for a cassette tape that contains information about nuclear fusion, intended to be an international peace offering. The President demands the cassette, but Snake retains it.

The Duke pursues them onto the bridge in his customized Cadillac, setting off mines as he tries to catch up. Brain guides Snake, but they hit a mine and Cabbie is killed. As they continue on foot, Brain accidentally stumbles onto another mine. A distraught Maggie sacrifices herself to slow down the Duke. Snake and the President reach the containment wall and guards hoist the President up. The Duke opens fire with Snake's MAC-10, killing the guards before Snake subdues him. As Snake is being lifted up by the rope the Duke attempts to shoot him, but the President takes up a dead guard's rifle and kills the Duke. Snake is hoisted to safety and Hauk's doctor removes the explosives with seconds to spare.

As the President prepares for a televised speech to the leaders at the summit meeting, he thanks Snake for saving him but offers only half-hearted regret for the deaths of his colleagues; Snake walks away in disgust. Hauk offers Snake a job as his deputy but he keeps walking. The President's speech commences and he plays the cassette. To his embarrassment, it only plays Cabbie's favorite song, "Bandstand Boogie". As Snake walks away a free man, he pulls the real cassette from his pocket and destroys it.

In addition, frequent Carpenter collaborators Nancy Stephens appeared as the "Hijacker" and Buck Flower appeared as the "Drunk with the president's tracker", respectively, while then-active professional wrestler Ox Baker played "Slag". The narrator was voiced by an uncredited Jamie Lee Curtis. Actor Joe Unger filmed scenes as Snake's partner-in-crime Bill Taylor, but they were cut from the final film.
