Often in games there are moments when the main character ends up in prison and tries to get out of it, but some action games and shooters are completely devoted to such moments: the character ends up in such a large and protected prison that escaping from it takes the entire playthrough, from the beginning to end.
In such games, the player must be smart, look for clues and build relationships with other prisoners in order to later take advantage of the situation and escape. To do this, you will have to, for example, hack locks and terminals, silently kill guards and crawl through ventilation.
This list contains all the games about prison and escape from it, without reference to the genre, year of release or gameplay features.
