Storyline

- TriviaSeveral scenes were filmed at the Ramsey County Correctional Facility in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA which is a working correctional facility. While filming in the jail, Woody Harrelson asked for the air conditioning to be turned off. This request was denied due to the inconvenience that it would place on the officers, staff, and inmates of the facility.
- GoofsWilson's cellmate is reading Psalm 23 (and Wilson repeats after him) from the Good News Bible (Good News Translation), but the words they are speaking are the King James Version: "...he maketh me lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters, he restoreth my soul." (1:04:53-1:05:10) Also the cellmate is holding the Bible open to about 1/3 of the way through, but the Psalms are around the midpoint of the Bible.

So try to be open minded, you don't have to be friends with the character, you don't have to agree with his lifestyle or his choices. But you can have empathy for him and his quest for something in life. And the quirky way it is portrayed ...
