- The Danza: Chris Keller is played by Chris Meloni.
- Directed by Cast Member: Averted. Somewhat bizarrely, the show had a long list of actors show up in the director's chair, Steve Buscemi, Kathy Bates, Matt Dillon and Rob Morrow among others, none of whom ever actually acted on the show.
- Well, Terry Kinney did direct that one episode.
- Fake American: Said is played by British actor Eamonn Walker.
- Fake Nationality: Adebisi is played by British actor Adewale-Akinnouwe Agbaje of Nigerian descent.
- Hey, It's That Guy!: Very large overlap with contemporary series:
- Rawls, Daniels, Burrell, Carver, Avon Barksdale, Brother Mouzone, Bodie, Lester and Herc from the cast of The Wire appear as prisoners, guards, community leaders or family members.
- Detective Stabler and Cassidy, Dr. Skoda and Dr. Huang, and Forensic Tech Ryan O'Halloran from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, also many of the baddies.
- Oh look, it's Chief Pope. And he's... oh my god... *whimpers*
- Alternatively, it seems Jonah Jameson has finally redirected his hatred to someone else.
- Wait, you mean to tell me an Aryan Correctional Officer is also.. PATRICK STAR?!
- Ryan O'Reily is the embodiment of mayhem.
- Cyril may not like apples anymore.
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: According to the DVD commentary, Kristin Rohde, who plays Claire Howell, is a very sweet person, the exact opposite of Howell. The trope probably applies to several of the actors on the series.
- Playing Against Type: Zeljko Ivanek asked to play a villainous character in this because he was fed up with being type-cast as dull nice guys or Reasonable Authority Figures. His subsequent career proves that it worked.
- Power Tattoo: The "OZ" tat that we see getting done in the intro? Was actually done. On the arm of Tom Fontana, the series' creator.
