Like for example, why are they housed in a cell by two, or eat together. If it’s just my false perception caused by Hollywood, then I get it, but doesn’t this allow more violence and plots of escape?

In lots of countries prisons are actually just one cell for each. The US has by far the highest incarceration rate of all countries, so giving each prisoner his own cell would be far too costly.
It is notable that it’s more a problem specific to the US, or third/second world countries that lack lots of other infrastructure as well. So there’s no logic or science behind it other than saving costs. Ideally every prisoner gets their own cell, besides communal and resocializing activities that are being offered to the less violent.
