Revealing mistake: Just after Ricky has killed the bald inmate, he then goes to punch the assistant warden in his face, resulting in his one real eye falling out. In the close-up shot of the assistant warden getting punched, a fake prop dummy can be seen instead of the real assistant warden, most likely used so that it would be easier to create the practical effect of his eye falling out.
