    • Trivia
      The original trailer claimed that this film was the first to show the real truth about Alcatraz and other federal prisons. In fact, this started out as a four-reel documentary short on federal prisons. Louis B. Mayer asked shorts director Jacques Tourneur to expand the documentary. Mayer liked what he saw and ordered Tourneur to use the footage to create a feature film of fiction. This became Tourneur's first American feature film.

      • Self - Former Attorney-General: You know, Jim, I've been thinking. You have one of the most interesting jobs in the whole Department of Justice. Here you are, in charge of twenty-eight federal prisons, and eighteen thousand prisoners. The people apparently have very little realization of that phase of our work. They don't seem to realize that every time a prison door opens, and a man goes in, another man comes out. That in a way is a challenge of the federal prison system. Some day, some how, all these prisoners come out, come back to live among us. Now, we've done a very great deal for these men, and it seems to me that the public ought to be told about it.
      • Self - Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons: They should be told, but it's a big story, and it's a hard story to tell because every single case is different. Let's take a look at a typical case of interstate bandits...
