While it is my policy to not repeat artists in a countdown, that doesn’t apply to song titles. 
John suggested a countdown of prison/jail songs in “honor” (ha) of our 15-day lockdown that’s turned into indefinite in some places. Here’s the opening salvo....turn it up!
#10: Jailbreak - AC/DC
Turn it up LOUD.
This isn’t a pleasant song thematically. A man goes to prison for murder in what might be called a crime of passion or justifiable homicide (depending on if you interpret “being fooled with by another man” as an affair or an assault). The “breaking rocks” gets tiresome quickly, so he decided he’s getting the heck out of Dodge.
It has one of those Cool Hand Luke endings.
Turn it up real loud.
Jailbreak
Written by Bon Scott, Angus Young, and Malcolm Young

JJ had a question on Facebag as to which he should start up at 8 AM on Sunday: the chainsaw, the weed eater, or a lawnmower. Why not add a little music to the mix??

Didn't know the song; but it's a rockin' song!
