While the prison gym scene was being shot at Norwood High School in Norwood, Ohio, the school was conducting baby swimming classes next door at the connected high school annex.

The prison gym scene where Tom Selleck's character works up the nerve to kill the other inmate, was filmed at Norwood Jr. High School (formally Norwood High School, currently Norwood Middle School), Norwood, Ohio, in the original men's gym. Built circa 1912, the gym is the only one of its kind in the Cincinnati area with a running track suspended above the gym and bolted to the wall about 30 feet from the ceiling.

When Rainwood is in the bathroom drying his hair, his hairdryer is white. When he is shot by the David Rasche character, the hairdryer is gray.

The plexiglass piece used to make the shank is obviously much thicker than the rest of the broken window.

After he gets out of jail, Jimmie Rainwood's wife makes him a cup of tea. It faces different directions in different shots after he puts it down on the bookcase.

Q

Why does Jimmy break the handle off the shank he stabs Jingles with?

A

The main reason is so Jingles couldn't pull it out. However, with most stabbing wounds where the object is left in the body, EMTs will NOT pull the object out, which may cause greater blood loss. ER doctors or surgeons will remove the object in a controlled environment, IE, a trauma room or operating room, to reduce blood loss and repair the injury. The way most of these wounds are depicted in movies, the weapon is often pulled out immediately (for dramatic effect), however, it doesn't hold up in real life.You could also argue that without the handle, the guards couldn't get any of Jimmy's fingerprints from it, implicating him immediately in the crime, hence, Jimmy drops it down the drain where they'd have less of a chance of finding it.
