Kelly McCart, the leading actress, is shown several times with full frontal nudity. She said in an interview that she was very comfortable with it. "I think it's really important to have nudity sometimes that isn't always 'sexy' because it can help reshape society's inclination to objectify women's bodies. That being said, I was really comfortable with everything that I did and I hope it makes people a little uncomfortable to watch, because that's the point! We did most of the nudity and assault scenes in one day so it was a long day but definitely worth it."
Star Kelly McCart's first leading role and first feature film. Before this she had only done short films and theatre. She said she was "scared sh*tless" because the role required a lot from her. She had to fight, strip fully naked, kiss a girl for the first time, and miss three weeks of school to travel across the globe to film it.
Don "The Dragon" Wilson was originally cast as the warden. He had to withdraw days before shooting after he suffered a car accident when he shot a rod through the block of his Ford Futura Fairmont.
The Warden character in the film is loosely based on actor Steve Hanks, who played the Warden in another Jared Cohn film, Jailbait.
In establishing shots, the fictional 'Lattsan Correctional Facility' (presumably named after Asylum producer David Michael Latt) is portrayed by footage of Metharath University (formerly Shinawatra University), located in Pathum Thani Province, 50 kilometers northeast of Bangkok, Thailand.
