I know that this is very vague but I was trying to remember a show or a movie involving the main character going to jail and gets help from someone that’s also in jail for killing someone out of self defense or protecting someone. Not sure if the main character was good or bad. Any help would be appreciated !

Did you know that in the 1980s movie PREDATOR the titular character was not originally portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall. It was in fact Jean-Claude Van Damme donning a much more insect inspired full body suit before he left the production which then led to the recasting and redesigning of the famous hunter.



What you have described is pretty well the basic plot or at least subplot of most prison stories, be they movie, book, or television. But taking a shot...
An Innocent Man, perhaps?
