Corrected entry: In the film, the character of Sister Helen is played by Susan Sarandon. Midway through the movie, there is a scene where several people are congregated outside the building where Poncelet's appeals are being held. Sister Helen is talking to her laywer friend, who, at the end of their conversation says, "OK, see you later, Susan."

Continuity mistake: When Sister Helen is being pulled over for speeding, in the view through the rear view mirror, the cop car behind her is driving on the left side of the road, with the police officer driving in the right front seat, on a straight road with a solid center line. In the next shot, both cars are on the right side of the road, with the police officer sitting in the left front seat, on a curvy road with a dashed center line.
Matthew Poncelet: Hitler got things done.
Trivia: The real Helen Prejean has a cameo in the movie. In the 42nd minute of the movie, Helen is standing next to Susan Sarandon outside the prison during an execution.
