Hi, it seems that most of the UK are getting addicted to Prison Break (myself included!)

I just wondered what (those of you have seen it) think about how it portrays "life in a maximum security prison" ?

Well I like 24 better than prison break, but then that is just me.

I was reading a message board on the Prison Break website several months ago, and there were COs and ex cons on there who said that maximum security prison is NOTHING like the show! Michael and Lincoln would NOT be seeing each other at all in reality... for one thing.
But the show is fiction, and I'm 100% hooked.

You should :)

Yeah death row has never been so cosy, you get to mingle with all the other inmates and work and everything! Infact you're hardly in your cell!

Oh and notice how they base it around the electic chair and not the lethal injection!!

I'm another Prison Break addict. One of my pals told me in the beginning that it wasn't very realistic.

I first realized that when Lincoln was on a work detail with the general population. That would NEVER happen in a real prison.

But, the show is realistic enough for me to be hanging on every week!
