Surely, several of these might not lie among the very best of the prison films, but still I have always liked them for their pure entertainment and re-watchability value:
An Innocent Man (1989)
Fortress (1992)
Prison (1987)
The Running Man (1987)
Wedlock (1991)
Blood in Blood Out (1993)
and of course, (how could I forget about the best of the bunch)
Escape from New York (1981)

One not mentioned is Lockout (2012). It's basically Escape From New York in space. Highly enjoyable romp, not to be taken seriously at all.

Le Trou
A Man Escaped
Birdman of Alcatraz
Papillon
Lonely Are The Brave
In case that last one doesn't "qualify", I'd add "I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang"
