From Prisons to Prisons (French : De prisons en prisons) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Steve Patry and released in 2014.

The film premiered at the 2014 Montreal International Documentary Festival, before going into commercial release in December. [1]
The film received a Prix Iris nomination for Best Documentary Film at the 17th Jutra Awards in 2015. [2]
