When the main character, Paul Edgecomb, goes to visit the state-appointed attorney who defended John Coffey in court, the attorney compares negros like Coffey" to a dog he had to shoot because said dog attacked his son out of the middle of nowhere.

Two children are raped and abused by Wild Bill, which isn't shown on screen, but we see a flashback where Bill threatens to kill the children if they make noise.

I knew about the mouse (walk away just before 1 hr 30 min 8 seconds for maybe 3 minutes and it's resolved) however I was NOT READY for one of the saddest endings I've ever seen - it really unsettled me. I would have rather seen the stomping or honestly not watched the movie - but I really don't cope well and had no earthly idea this ending would happen. it’s the implication that’s left at the end of the movie. It makes me so upset.

There are quite a few torture scenes. At one point, Percy is put in a straitjacket with a cloth stuffed in his mouth and thrown in a padded room. Eduard Delacroix's execution goes horribly wrong when Percy doesn't wet the sponge - Del burns to death instead of being electrocuted and it can be considered torture.

There is a quick scene change from a heavy emotional scene to a sudden cut to a gory dead person. It is not a jump scare but it could be suddenly scary because of the quick mood change and unpleasent sight.

One of the guards (Percy) wet themselves when he gets threatened with rape by one of the inmates. Percy is a very disturbing man and has been nothing but cruel up until this point. As a result of his cruelty, everyone mocks him for wetting himself instead of taking the grave threat seriously.

It's not really copaganda, but the cops are the main characters. Their job isn't portrayed in a positive or negative light but they are made empathetic characters. I believe all of the cops are revealed to have left their jobs at the end.

Whilst not therapy, per se, if watching a person being electrocuted bothers you, the several prolonged (and, in one case, vindictive) scenes of people being executed via the electric chair will be very unpleasant for you.

No, but there is a scene that has a similar vibe: right before Del is executed, Percy tells Del that the Mouseville that Paul promised to take the mouse to for him was all a fairytale they made up to make him happy, and it upsets Del greatly.
