Trivia

TRIVIA: This episode shows Hanson smoking pot (given to him earlier by a detainee) for the first time. This is in the scene when he is drinking alone in the tunnel waiting to meet a girl. This uncharacteristic behavior was presumably meant to show the strain of being locked up with people he helped put away, and may forshadow his future incarceration issues. (edit)
TRIVIA: Booker's character was originally supposed to be killed off at the end of the 3rd season, but due to his popularity he was given his own show as a spinoff.
(edit)
TRIVIA: Penhall is revealed to be clausterphobic. (edit)
TRIVIA: This episode features Penhall and Hanson as "toned-down" versions of the McQuaid brothers. (edit)
TRIVIA: In the original airing of this episode, the song "Can't Find My Way Home" is played but on the DVD it is replaced with a different song. (edit)
