Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): When Harris first stands Benson up and turns her around to face him, his hands are around her neck, and in the next shot (the first close up) he's grabbing her cheeks.
Goof (continuity error): When Harris goes to lift Benson up before he slams her into the wall, he has his arms under hers and wrapped around her chest. In the next shot, his arms are wrapped fully around her body including her arms and are wrapped around her stomach.
Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Benson is ordered by Parker to apologize to Fin for getting blood on his shoes, she tells him no because Fin "kicked me," when in reality, Fin just hit her with his night stick.

Trivia

Mariska Hargitay was not allowed to wear any makeup or jewelry when she was filming any of the prison scenes.
Mariska Hargitay (Det. Olivia Benson) and Johnny Messner (Capt. Lowell Harris), both stayed in character the entire day of the Basement Scene so that when the time came to shoot the scene, Mariskas fear would be more real.
