Director Rupert Wyatt revealed on the DVD commentary that Damian Lewis wore ladies underwear throughout filming.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): During the scene in which Perry meets his wife, and he looks around the doorway, behind him is a sign stating the prison regulations. However, about three quarters of the way down the list, 'prison' is erroneously spelled 'prision'.
Movie Goof (continuity error): During the scene in which Perry receives a half-kilogram of cocaine from Batista, his cell-mate (Lacey) is first shown lying on the top bunk with his head on the pillow. In the following scene, when Perry turns to sit on the lower bunk, Lacey is shown leaning with his back to the wall.
