This movie is a favorite of mine. It was filmed in Mansfield prison in Mansfield, Ohio (closed down long ago..now it is just for tours)...and not all the scenes were filmed in it, mainly the outside and the Wardens office and some of the inside prison..most of the rest were filmed in the area but the prison itself is quite unique as it has cells that "hang" in the middle.. this was because it was easier to control according to the prison. But if you call them and ask if you can use it for a student film and explain it , they let you, for free, as long as you send them a copy of your film. When I was there filming, we got to use one of the old cells with paint peeling and such...quite creepy. You can even get a tour of it (a few other films were also filmed there as well such as Airforce One).
