Even if Lex isn't in the same prison, why not go find him and break him out to get the whole Luthor family together? In "The Adventures of Supergirl" he was confirmed to be serving 37 consecutive life sentences. He's probably being held in the most secure facility in the country, and if he ever were to escape he'd be one of the most wanted men in the world. There isn't anywhere for him to go, really, and presumably his evil plans aren't at a point where he needs his own freedom; besides, since he sent Corben to kill Lena in the first place, we know that he still has a vast amount of influence from prison, so it could be argued that Lex could somehow free himself someday.
