Fox’s hit crime drama Prison Break consists of 5 seasons.
As the name suggests, Paul Scheuring’s series is about breaking out of prison. The series follows two brothers, Michael Scofield, a structural engineer, and Lincoln Burrows. Lincoln was framed for the murder of Vice President Caroline Reynolds’ brother and received a death sentence. As his execution date was approaching, Michael came up with a plan to save his brother, by prison break.
Michael purposefully gets himself imprisoned at Fox River State Penitentiary so that he can help his brother break out. Michael has extensively planned his prison break, including tattooing a massive coded blueprint of the prison across his entire body, and faking diabetes with the help of a fellow prisoner named C-Note, in order to gain regular access to the prison’s infirmary.
