The shoot takes place June 7-9, and applicants must be prepared to be available "all day and evening for June 7, 8, (day and overnight filming), and possibly June 9 during the day." Costume fitting is to take place June 6.

The shoot will take place inside and outside the penitentiary, and the days typically run from eight to 14 hours.

Applicants will be paid minimum wage.
