Jack Vance's paperback mystery TAKE MY FACE (1957 or so) is a
noirish book (not hardboiled, though). It came under an alias
Peter Held.

As for the prison writers, what about Frank Elli and THE
RIOT? I have it, but haven't read it.
There's also a GM paperback as by Tarn Scott, DON'T LET HER
DIE
(1957), which reads like the authors (there were two of them)
might've been ex-convicts.
