    quick facts:

    The arm that is being tattooed in the opening credits belongs to series creator Tom Fontana.


    The prison set was actually an old warehouse that Tom Fontana had revamped. Fontana was also able to move his production offices into the space. Fontana would renew the lease on the space one year at a time in case the show got cancelled. During production on the fourth season, Tom Fontana learned that the owner of the property signed off a 10-year lease to NY1, a local New York City news station. The fourth season finale was titled "Famous Last Words" and ends with a fiery explosion in the prison. This was so that the episode could also serve as the series finale in case Fontana was unable to find a new filming location for the show. Fortunately, Fontana found a similar looking warehouse in New Jersey he could use and the show was able to continue.

    Jefferson Keane is executed halfway through the first season because the actor portraying him, Leon, refused to commit to a series. When Leon asked Tom Fontana why he was being killed off, Fontana told him it was because he said he wouldn't commit to more than four episodes. Leon replied that he thought he'd been talked out of that and actually wanted to stay.

    Some cast members that played prisoners have noted that, throughout the series, if you showed up late to the set, your punishment would be that your character would either die or be ? the next week.

    Craig muMs Grant (Arnold 'Poet' Jackson) actually wrote all the poems he read in the series.

    was a fan of the show when it originally aired.

    but looking at random episodes now it doesnt really stand the test of time. Compared to other great cable shows like the Wire & the Sopranos.
    It jumped the shark for me when the killed Admista.

    Great show....great acting, also this ? should be shown to young offenders when they think prison is cool... though its more the thought of male ? than actually getting murdered that is the scary element in this show... But once again its some RAW ? .

    co-sign I tried to start watching from the 1st ep to the last like I do with Wire,Sopranos,Dexter and it just hasnt aged well plus it got corny when they started doing silly stuff like the age pill and the one dude (luke perry) being "Jesus"
