The movie can be sometimes harsh and dark in tone.
Prisoners torment and verbally attack new people who've just arrived, their reactions can be a bit difficult to watch as they scream and cry.
The beatings may be intense to many. There are moments of moderate threat when characters are threatened (normally by guards).
The prison rape elements could be distressing but, it is never shown just vaguely implied and briefly referenced.
