The Jailhouse(2009)

Every old jail has a past

The Jailhouse is a thriller about a blue-collar family whose gamble on affordable housing turns into a nightmare. Seth Delray moves his wife and two children into a century-old home with a functioning jail on the second floor, betting that it will never be used again. When a county jail fire forces the sheriff to relocate inmates, Seth's house becomes an emergency holding facility. Suddenly, dangerous criminals are locked behind bars directly above the family's living spaces. The real terror isn't the inmates themselves—it's watching his children's fear and his wife's icy resentment grow with each passing day. What seemed like the deal of a lifetime becomes a test of how far a man will go to protect his family and salvage his marriage when trapped in his own home with nowhere to escape.
