The prison Danny Ocean is paroled from - North Jersey State Prison - is actually East Jersey State Prison, formerly known as Rahway State Prison. This facility was the setting of
Scared Straight!. There is actually a Northern State Prison located across the highway from Newark (NJ) International Airport. Parole hearings at "Rahway State" are held in a conference room near the inmate dining hall. The area he was having his parole interview was in the "Drill Hall" (indoor gym/recreation area). The cell block that Danny was being escorted from is "3-Wing" - a regular, working cell block. The inmates were either confined to their cells or relocated to other areas of the prison for the filming. The "Officer" escorting Danny out of the cell block and securing the gate, was actually a Lieutenant, and at the time, was the coordinator of the "Scared Straight" program.
