I finally managed to get an SS ranking with BSAA Chris. It took quite a bit of practice, but ultimately, Chris is a good character for this stage. Even though he doesn't do a lot of damage, his shotgun holds 20 rounds which is the most for any shotgun amongst the mercenary characters. This means he actually has a pretty high combo potential if you're lucky and don't get too many of those annoying head parasites.
The key to getting big scores on the prison stage is to kill the executioners as quickly as possible. If you run away too much you'll lose time to get combos, so as soon as one appears start blasting him. A good tactic is to hop through a window and plug him as he steps over, otherwise drop a grenade in front of him, then when he's stunned by the explosion run in close and blast him in the face as many times as possible (about twice for the red ones, three or four times for the weaker black one if you're lucky), then quickly hit him with an uppercut to stun him again, then run close again, blast another two rounds in his face, quickly equip a grenade and drop it right in front of you so that when the executioner grabs you, the grenade explodes under him and he drops you unharmed to the floor so that you can repeat the process again. If you're lucky and no majinis interfere, you should be able to do this indefinitely, until the excutioner is dead. Remember that if you're going to get hit by an executioner, he does much less damage when he grabs you than when he pounds you with his axe, so always stay close, and try and drop a grenade just before he grabs you. If you do get hit, don't worry too much, as long as you have a herb or FA spray you should be able to revive quickly enough so that you can heal yourself. The executioners actually let you revive after hitting you! They walk up to you and then just freez, leaving them open for a combo if you revive in time - it's the majinis that you really have to look out for, because they are more likely to hit you while you're trying to revive.
With other characters like Wesker and Tribal Sheva, it's much easier to kill the executioners quickly, but for some reason they are less fun to use for me.
Anyway, have fun!
This must've taken you forever , I can only get an S average on this stage because it's so difficult.

The trick is to kill all 3 executioners, not to run away. They are worth a lot of points. A little luck is always handy too!
It's quite easy to get SS with tribal Sheva, STARS Chris and both the Weskers because their weapons are so powerful. Try them out :)
I cannot get above an S ranking with STARS Jill on this level though :S
