The reason for Jeff's (Miles Teller) imprisonment at Spiderhead is drunk driving resulting in a crash. Miles Teller often plays character that are in or nearly in car accidents. This is seen in his previous films, Bleed For This (2016), The Spectacular Now (2013), Whiplash (2014) and Rabbit Hole (2010) In some cases, it helps ease or explain the sight of the scars on his face, which he got from a car accident in real life.
