Prison Break - S1 - Robert Knepper - Tour Fox River With T-Bag

Join Prison Break's T-Bag (Robert Knepper) as he takes a tour of Fox River State Penitentiary.

(After it was closed down in 2002, Joliet Prison became the set of Prison Break in 2005, standing in as Fox River State Penitentiary on screen. Scenes set in Lincoln's cell, the infirmary, and the prison yard were all shot on location at the prison. Lincoln's cell was the same one in which serial killer John Wayne Gacy was incarcerated.)

That is not Gacy's cell; he was locked up in Menard Correctional Center and then Statesville. That first cell on the left was occupied by an inmate named "turtle" but that was when I worked there in the early 1990's. The building they were in was called north segregation and is where they housed high escape risks, or extremely dangerous prisoners going to court in northern Illinois.

Tbag is fuming pro

[acevasco16]

@cagemonkey22 Then why does this and every other site on him say he did? He was executed in Statesville after being transferred form Menard but how and when could he have stayed at Joliet?

@modelearth The prison was closed down permanently a year or so before they started filming prison break. All of the prisoners you see are actors.

[modelearth]

how did they film it with all the real prisoners

[bluethunder03]

Natural Born Killers was filmed at Stateville, not Joliet. They are 2 seperate prisons in Joliet. You can look at the patch on the correctional officers in NBK and it does say Stateville though in the movie they call it Potongaville. I have also lived at both facilities and know what they look like from the inside out.
