Revolt in the Big House

Robert Blake's character is a former Hispanic gang member, which was rare in movies at this time, especially being the only protagonist of the inmates. Also, Robert Blake had played a lot of Spanish characters throughout his career leading to this point, including the little boy who sells Humphrey Bogart the winning lottery ticket in Sierra Madren aarre (1948). He played Native Americans as well, and later, a "part Cherokee" criminal in his most famous role, Kylmäverisesti (1967). It wasn't until later that he would be cast primarily as what he actually was, an Italian American.

When Robert Blake is facing outside his cell as the men are lined-up, his hands are down. When it cuts to outside the cell, looking in at Blake, both hands are holding the cell bars.
