(Wentworth Miller), a brilliant structural engineer, stages a bank robbery to get himself incarcerated at Fox River State Penitentiary. His goal: break out his older brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), who is on death row for a murder he didn’t commit.

Season 2 expands the show's mythology by introducing "The Company," a shadowy organization responsible for framing Lincoln. The narrative arc focuses on the characters racing toward Panama, each pursuing their own version of freedom. This season is notable for deconstructing Michael’s "perfect plan."

The season concludes with a dramatic reversal: Michael, attempting to secure freedom for Sarah Tancredi, ends up incarcerated in a Panamanian prison, while Lincoln is exonerated.
