It's ironic that the man with the most experience of being behind prison bars in the show is actually actor Stacy Keach who plays Warden Pope. In 1984, he was arrested and sentenced to nine months in a British jail after being caught in possession of 1.3oz of cocaine after a flight from France. He was released after six months and upon his return to America, he vowed to educate others about the serious nature of drug abuse. When he got the role on Prison Break, he used his old prison warden to base his character on.
