    Gitmo bay is NOT your typical American prison, which I think was the question. But real American prisons for "typical" US hard criminals are still much harsher places than what was shown in the movie.

      On a side note was this the same prison - or stage - used in "The Italian Job"; I mean the good version.

        It was filmed at Kilmainham Gaol (Jail) in southwest Dublin, which is today a museum on the famine and the fight for independence. It's where most of the Easter Rebellion leaders were executed in 1916. It's got a great historic feel to it, especially the iconic metal staircase.

          Yes.. Kilmainham was used for "The Italian Job". It is used a lot as it is an unused prison that is maintained well, and the newest part of it is a classic Victoran era prison

            Anyone who has seen Goodfellas, the prison there was kind of similar and that was in America.
            But anyway, it still wasn't like it was pleasant. You're still not allowed to leave the confines of that place, even when your father is dying. You're still told when to go to the bathroom, when to eat, what to eat, when to sleep. You spend every day doing the same thing and even if every day you're spending toking it up with the Rasta-men, the monotony and confinement tends to dull the mind and spirit. Imagine spending the one moment a day that you get to spend outside, and all you can do is walk around in circles because there is nothing else? Ya, they got a couple creature comforts in that specific prisonbut that changed when the dude got lit on fire, though, and I believe that it's mentioned in the movie when they talk about the new Warden arriving.
            Most importantly, you're taken away from the people that you love. That's prison.

              And it looked serious enough that they had bars on the roof of the staircase and over hangs of the prison it looked serious enough for me.

                  A friend of mine spent time in prison in the UK, not by any means a high security prison, he was a low risk inmate.
                  He had the key to his own cell, all prisoners had their own keys and could lock their own doors, he had TV and video games, pool table, gym, library and everything else he could access at any time except after hours.
                  Inmates can hang out in groups anywhere.
                  Not sure if this is the norm in the UK.

                    Mostly in prison you can have the television and other creature comforts in ur room. Also you can relax and play and sports. Even is possible to bring fanny from outside.
