In The Longest Yard a famous football player goes to jail.
In Chicago the people who are jailed become famous.
The Hurricane is about a well-known boxer who is imprisioned. |

McVicar starring Roger Daltry - John McVicar was classed as Britain's Public Enemy Number One
Spike Lee's biopic of Malcom X
The Executioner, from Norman Mailer's book about notorious Gary Gilmore
There are rumors of a Timothy Leary biopic, including his escape from jail, to star Di Caprio ... but who knows?
Hope these help!
PS - How's your baby? What's the title of your hubby's newsletter?

We are good! The baby is great. :)
They still haven't announced the name of the newsletter. I am not a very patient person and it feels like it has been FOREVER. |

I was going to suggest that, and, though it's true, in real life Cash did go to jail, and in the film we see him perform at Folsom, but I don't recall any scene/s of him actually doing time. Is this my tapioca brain again, or ... ?

They do talk about his incarceration, but no, you are right - the movie doesn't show him in jail. |

I watched it a couple of weeks ago - and recall his going to jail as a key point in the film. I don't remember if we actually see him in jail, but we see him arrested for drug possession and I remember his father making a snide comment about how he would be able to add more realism to his song 'Falsom Prison Blues', or something like that.
Anyhows, I don't have the best of film memories, but I thought it was so  |

Excellent choice, and yes he was very famous when he was jailed - the trial itself was hugely publicized. |
