A bit of history on the prison Danny is released from (twice). The fictional "North Jersey State Prison" is actually East Jersey State Prison in Rahway, NJ. There are currently 13 state correctional facilities in NJ all of which are given names such as Midstate Correctional Facility, Bayside State Prison, New Jersey State Prison, etc however at one time prisons in NJ were named after the town they were located in. New Jersey State Prison was Trenton State Prison, Bayside State Prison was Leesburg, and East Jersey State Prison was the infamous Rahway State Prison however the city of Rahway, NJ didn't like that their town was only know for it's prison facility so the city petitioned the state to rename the facility as it felt that the name of Rahway being synonymous with the prison affected property values. Ironically, when referring to the prison it is still referred to as "Rahway".
