The article here really isn't natural in English :/

No it isn't. I'm reporting it right now, it shouldn't be there in the English version.

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.

"No touching!" Also, this sentence sounds very awkward in English.

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.
