15 Mind-Blowing Facts About Prison Break

It's been almost a decade since Prison Break first burst onto our screens, and more than six years since the distressing finale, but it's gone down as a classic series that really helped kick along the huge shift towards 'boxset' television. The prison setting has always been a popular backdrop for films, with The Great Escape and The Shawshank Redemption proving that audiences have a taste for seeing bold, daring attempts to burst out of the one place they shouldn't be able to, and Prison Break spanned that concept across four seasons. Currently, Netflix's Orange Is The New Black is sweeping around the world as the prison drama of choice. Yet still, who can compare to Michael Scofield, Lincoln Burrows and Co.? The brains of one, the brawn of the other, the purely evil, yet somewhat enjoyable, T-Bag. They were all mixed together with the loveable Sucre, ruthless Mahone, bumbling Bellick, and of course, deranged Haywire in high-octane scenes on both sides of the walls. So if this has got you reminiscing about some of the best moments from the series, here are 10 crazy things you probably didn't know about Prison Break... But oh boy, things could have been very different for the show if certain decisions had gone through.
