Adrienne Moore, who plays fiesty "Black Cindy" spills an embarrassing, on-set story. “It was my camera-angle scene, but I had been on set all day helping my other cast mates, and when the cameras were finally on me I had to go to the bathroom,” she says. “I held up production, and it was like the number after 1, so that was going to take some time.”

Like how loud prison it is because there are no soft surfaces, and how monochromatic the palette is, visually” she expressed.
