Not traditional, but I can't let it go unmentioned, especially as there are other songwriters' works cited here.

Give a listen to Anne Lister (Tabster) 's utterly brilliant song Locked In which looks at the situation from the viewpoint of the prisoner's loved ones, who also suffer. It's on her latest album A Twist in The Story and you can hear it if you click on the link for "Locked In" (second title down).
