Profile: Micheal Scofield

Michael was a structural engineer who among other things happened to design prison layouts.When Michaels brother Lincoln Burrowes was sentenced to death for the murder of Terrence Steadman Michael went to see Linc.Michael had to ask Linc if it was true. Once Linc told Michael that he had been setup that was enough for Michael.Linc was the only family Michael had in the world. Michaels life was exciting but not fulfilling to him.So Michael plotted and he planned for weeks and weeks to meticulously find a way to break Linc out of Fox River Prison.It helped that Michael helped design the prison. However it was still gonna be an enormous task.Then Michael got himself thrown in to Fox River for Armed Robbery. When it went to court Michael did everything he could to make sure he got thrown into prison.All of this is a measure of the man that Michael is.Michael not only mapped out the prison but he also researched the people inside who was going to need to get out and stay out without being caught.He researched DB Cooper (Westmoreland), Abruzzi and others.Michael sticks out like a sore thumb in a place like Fox River. But he manages to make it work.The hardest thing for Michael is to reconcile the fact that he must use The Warden and the beautiful Dr Sara Tancredi to break Linc out of Prison.
