The series even inspired an 'interactive experience' – Prison Break LIVE! was a 'boot-camp' that promised to replicate the real prison experience, touring the US, Australia, UK, China, Germany and Mexico from 2006 to 2008.

Prison Break did eventually get a spinoff of sorts though – the low-budget Proof of Innocence was released exclusively to mobile phones in 2006. The 07-08 writers' strike in Hollywood scuppered the project.ġ6.

A spinoff – Prison Break: Cherry Hill – was in the works in 2007 and would have followed housewife Molly as she was jailed in a women's prison. Prison Break was the subject of a (failed) lawsuit by two brothers – Donald Hughes had successfully executed a prison escape for his brother Robert in the 1960s and claimed the show was based on them.ġ5. Fox River's Warden Pope actually spent some time in prison, or rather his portrayer Stacy Keach did – the actor spent six months in a British jail in the '80s on a drugs charge and based his performance as Pope on his old prison warden.ġ4. Sara Tancredi was meant to die in the first season, but fans took to Sarah Wayne Callies's character and her popularity saw her stick around for more episodes.ġ3.
