The film has no sexual content, only a very brief scene of male rear nudity in the communal shower rooms. There is a scene with an exotic dancer, and others with women wearing bikinis, but no nudity is featured in these sequences.

The film does have some very violent sequences, particularly in the second half. Prisoners being gunned down, stabbings, blood pouring out of mouth, a throat slashed, beatings, reactions to tear gas are some of the violent incidents depicted in the movie.

There are some references to drugs, particularly speed, and scenes of characters smoking, but these are used very sparingly in the film.
