What's left behind the scenes

Actor Sean Penn wanted to better embody his character by having bad teeth – with crowns and perhaps a few gaps between them, but his mother, the daughter of a dentist, objected, stating that there was no need to ruin his beautiful teeth, even for the sake of the role.
During the filming of a scene where his character runs through the forest after escaping, Sean Penn broke his leg. This forced a halt to filming for 8 weeks.
Real correctional officers from juvenile detention facilities and their wards played cameo roles in some scenes of the film.
Constructing the set for the juvenile correctional facility in Chicago cost half a million dollars.
Sean Penn insisted on being addressed on set by the same name as his character – Mick O'Brien. Moreover, when he spent a week filming at another correctional facility (maximum security), his uniform name tag read “Mick O'Brien”.
All the actors performed their own stunts.
To prepare for the role, Sean Penn grew his hair long, asked for a tattoo to be drawn on his arm, and dressed like members of street gangs. Additionally, he and the film's director, Rick Rosenthal, even accompanied Chicago police officers on duty who specialized in dealing with street gangs. On one occasion, Penn himself was mistaken for a gang member.
