Violence
There are scenes of strong violence including a man being beaten to death with a baton and another having his face bitten into. There are also strong verbal descriptions of the activities of serial killers. In one scene it is suggested that a prisoner is masturbating, after which he flings what is supposed to be semen at a passing woman.
Language
There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t'), occasional strong language ('f**k') and use of milder terms ('bitch', 'hell', 'shit', 'bastard', 'damn', 'asshole').
Sex
There are strong verbal and visual sex references.
Disturbing images
Gory scenes include a disembowelled police officer splayed across a prison cell, images of dead bodies with the skin removed and a decomposing body in a bath tub.
