La Prision de Santa Fe is the ninth full-length album released by the New Mexican musician Al Hurricane in 1980.[1][2]

The lead single "(El Corrido De) La Prision De Santa Fe" is a song that tells the story of New Mexico State Penitentiary riot. According to Al Hurricane, he wrote the song to be "strictly narrative, not a subjective account or soapbox. The song does not attempt to assign blame."[3]
