No, it's fine. "In prison" means generally, but "in the prison" refers to a specific facility. Whether it's a great translation I don't know, but it's not necessarily awkward.

In British English, it should definitely just be "in prison". You would only possibly use "in the prison" if you had been talking about a specific institution, in which case you'd probably say "in this/that prison" anyway. I'm not sure about American English - it may be different.
