A remarkable film, gripping from start to finish. The horror of the prison culture and the brutality it breeds are graphically portrayed, but somehow there's a tiny flame of humanity which keeps you engaged and hoping that 'the Prophet' survives.
One word in the subtitles confused me at first: 'the hacks' here means prison officers. I had never heard this term before (except when applied to journalists), whereas I guess most people in UK would understand 'the screws'.
