The first season of Prison Break revolves around Michael Scofield, a brilliant engineer who gets himself incarcerated in Fox River State Penitentiary to break out his brother, Lincoln, who is on death row for a crime he didn't commit. Michael gets a tattoo of the prison's layout on his body, which becomes a crucial element in their escape plan. As the series progresses, we see the bond between Michael and Lincoln grow stronger, along with other inmates like Fernando Sucre (played by Amaury Nolasco) and Theodore "T-Bag" Bagchamp (played by Robert Knepber).
