Trivia

Many names of the achievements are cultural references:

• "To throw the book at somebody" is a proverb meaning punishing someone for a crime as severely as possible.
• Someone commonly called "D. B. Cooper" hijacked a plane in 1971 and extorted a fortune of $200,000 in ransom without ever getting caught or only identified.
• Samuel Norton is the corrupt warden in Stephen King's prison story Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, filmed as The Shawshank Redemption.
• Also in The Shawshank Redemption (less in the book), the quote "Get busy living, or get busy dying" is repeated multiple times.
• In another prison story by Stephen King, The Green Mile, the tremendous main character John Coffey fears the dark. And so, in the movie version, he begs when being executed: "Please boss, don't put that thing over my face, don't put me in the dark. I's afraid of the dark."
• "Spare the rod and spoil the child" is a proverb originating from the Bible.
• In Alexandre Dumas' novel The Count of Monte Cristo, which also features a classic prison escape, the final thought is that "all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope'".
• In the film Training Day, corrupt LAPD narcotics officer Alonzo Harris teaches his trainee: "It's not what you know; it's what you can prove."
• In the film Escape From Alcatraz, Frank Morris surprises his fellow inmates: "I may have found a way out of here."
• The words "Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage" appear in the poem "To Althea, from Prison", written by Richard Lovelace in 1642.
