Let's Go to Prison is a 2006 American comedy film directed by Bob Odenkirk and starring Dax Shepard, Will Arnett, and Chi McBride.

The film was the product of creative interference on the part of the studio, according to Odenkirk, and went on to receive largely negative reviews and was not financially successful.

Nelson angers white supremacist gang leader Lynard by ratting him out on a prison shanking, who vows to kill him after being thrown in the hole.

Nelson reaches his one-year parole hearing relatively unharmed, and as the new leader of the white supremacist gang for "killing" Lynard.

Nelson, who initially submits to being Barry's partner out of fear, grows to care for him, willingly playing along with the "relationship" to keep him happy.

Other notable actors appearing include Jerry Minor as a Breen guard, Susan Messing as a stripper, Jim Zulevic as Sgt.

According to writers Tom Lennon and Robert Ben Garant's appearance on the Nerdist Podcast from August 23, 2011, changes included a happier ending, the removal of a sparse drums-only score recorded by Meg White of The White Stripes, and other alterations that made a significant change to the overall tone of the film.

The consensus states: "Let's Go to Prison is guilty on all counts of clichéd setups, base humor, and failure to ellicit laughs.

[6] Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote: "Unlike the vast majority of rude big screen comedies these days, Prison may actually improve with repeat viewings, since its best aspects are offhand enough to be missed the first time around.

"[7] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter did not find the film funny, and wrote: "The few laughs this purported comedy contains are fully displayed in its far more amusing trailer".
