There was another movie around this idea very recently, maybe a couple years ago. Can't remember the name though.

Young woman in isolation, think she helped create the system, maybe was on Netflix like 4 years ago?

There is a black mirror episode where a person puts an implant inside their brain that hears an echo of their brain wave activity. Once the implant essentially becomes that person, it's removed and put into a smart home device.

It's a three parter, an other bit has a criminals copy being tortured to get a confession out of it.

It's a Christmas special so it's a solid hour and a half.

Or maybe oxygen, came out in 2021

Oxygen has an interesting plot, similar, but not it.

I think the prison angle in this film wasn't the main premise. Just how a technology was used.

There was an eye drop that delivered a drug or something that could...do something to your brain.

Uggh, wish I could remember more.

I don’t suppose you mean Altered Carbon, where the premise is people don’t die as their entire memory and consciousness could be captured in a tiny tube the size of a modern day fuse; and opens where they’re investigating the suicide of a young woman who jumped to her death but have registered as DNR or something like that?

Similar style, but that was a mini-series (for lack of a better description).

This was a movie (IIRC), and she was held in a prison in her mind (so she thought), I can't remember the details. Futuristic, but not very far into the future.
