Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!

Not enough details for me, based on the amount of movies where prisoners kill another prisoner at the end - but off the top of my head it seems like American Me. Do you know when this was made, what kind of inmates they were, what the main character looked like, etc?
If knowledge is the key, then show me the lock, so I can ask someone to break it.
I'm looking for a show or movie where in the end some guy is cooperating with the police but someone is messing with his mom or stepmother or some family member. Then a cop or detective goes and says what's up to the prisoner in front of all the other prisoners which leads to the killing of the prisoner by the other inmates.
