Deliberate "mistake": When Claude is standing outside the car while waiting on the current warden to pick up the new warden, he's looking at the different styles that have come to pass while he was in jail. It it supposedly the 70s but when Claude looks at the guy with the stereo he hears Maxwell's "Fortunate" on the stereo. This song came out in 1998, not in the 70s.
