- Paco’s arrival is nominated, but pairing him with Viking is criticized as an obvious administrative failure given both men’s hostility to Mick.
- Paco’s crew openly carrying a conspicuous drug suitcase through downtown Chicago is criticized.
- A soda machine in detention is questioned because cans can become weapons; the generic cans used in the beating prompt speculation that RC Cola permitted its machine but not branded violence.
- Mick’s escape seemingly adding no time to his sentence is questioned, along with the consequences for Horowitz’s office assault.
- Showing juvenile inmates old crime movies and leaving cell doors unlocked are criticized.
- The lack of a safer placement for Paco remains a nitpick.
- Weapons hidden under radiators and Horowitz openly repairing electronics expose weak searches and limited investigation.
