Doesn't Exist!

In the trial scene near the beggining of the film, the judge sends him to a state correctional facility in Oroville, Ca. Well, I live in Oroville, and... THERE IS NO STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY HERE. That's all.

I think it may be that if they did use a real facility where real bad stuff happend (like Pelican Bay where guards forced inmates to kill one another) they might get sued or something.

The prison in Carson City, Nevada was the prison used for exteriors in this picture.

I spend my money on dope, sex and cheap thrills.
The rest of it, I waste.

There is a dam in Clinton but it is not nearly that big. You are right in saying there are no dams like that one.

I live in Oroville, Ca...1 mile away from the prison. It exists!

Well, I don't live anywhere near Oroville and I don't give a fat rat's clacker if there is a correctional facility there or not. To me it makes absolutely no difference to the story.

I wish they would have used San Quentin instead. It would have made it more realistic in my view, not to mention more scary. Films have been shot in the prison before, but perhaps the producers would have had to pay too much green.
