The film features implied and explicit same-sex dynamics, primarily through the stereotypical 'predatory lesbian' warden who uses her power for sexual exploitation. Interactions among prisoners are often depicted within a brutal, dehumanizing context. These portrayals lack dignity and complexity, reinforcing harmful stereotypes and contributing to a negative overall impact on LGBTQ+ representation.

The film features multiple female characters who engage in direct physical combat with male opponents. During the prison escape, characters like Blossom and Terry use hand-to-hand fighting skills to overpower and defeat male prison guards.

The film, set in a women's prison, does not meaningfully portray traditional family units or family-life norms. Its narrative focuses on survival, exploitation, and rebellion, with family content being absent or entirely peripheral to the story.
