Continuity mistake: When Doc is painting himself in the yard, the amount / position of grey marks on the painting differs. (00:22:50)
Continuity mistake: When Morris first gets to Alcatraz, he's wearing a jacket with one button buttoned. As he walks through the metal detector his jacket is suddenly unbuttoned. (00:05:20)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Frank Morris arrives at Alcatraz, he has to take all his clothes off for a routine check. When the guards escort him to his cell you can see him wearing a pair of white boxers, but in the next scene (still walking) he is naked again and when placed into his cell you can see him wearing a pair of pants. (00:06:15)
Frank Morris: There's always the possibility that some asshole will be offended. Isn't there?
Question: When Frank is delivering books to inmates' cells, he reaches D block, but a guard stops him, and tells him they are not allowed in those cells. Were books really disallowed in D block cells?

Answer: Those were the solitary confinement cells, with no light and no luxuries of any kind. So yes, they did not allow inmates on that block to have books.
This is inaccurate as a light in each cell was turned on at 6:30 every morning in solitary confinement at Alcatraz.
