Edward Norton spent time with real prisoners in the Southern Michigan Correctional Facility. He adopted his character's accent and cornrow hairstyle from the prisoners. Norton inserted phrases he heard from the prisoners into the dialogue.
Filming was interrupted by a drunk fan who approached Robert De Niro on the set. She was arrested and taken to a hospital.
The prison scenes were filmed at the State Prison of Southern Michigan. At one time, this was the world's largest walled prison. Since its closure, the site has become a popular filming venue, having also served as the prison location for Conviction (2010).
Angus MacLachlan originally wrote this as a play. It was performed once in 2003 as a staged reading.
In one scene Robert De Niro's character says that his daughter lives "up state". Someone from Michigan would have said that she lived "up north".
"[first lines] Young Madylyn: Look at me. Young Jack: Hmm? Young Madylyn: I'm not standing for this. Young Jack: Say what? Young Madylyn: You keep my soul in a dungeon. I'm leaving. Young Jack: [runs up the stairs, grabs his daughter out of bed, and holds her out the window] If you leave me, I'll throw her."
"Stone: [about parole] Don't get me wrong, I want to be out. But I don't want to wrestle with the same shit if I'm out, and I don't want to keep this feeling if I'm in."
