Suggested correction: When Michael stumbles into his cell and leans against the wall, there are blood trails over his hands. He then stumbles against the bed, and his hands are out of shot but his wrists are still visible. Then, when he falls back against the wall, his hands are visible with the blood trails.

Corrected entry: In this episode, Kellerman insists that there is no way of identifying Stedman. The brothers ask about DNA, dental records, etc. Kellerman states that they were erased. However, Stedman's DNA can always be tested and compared to that of the president. DNA will show that they are siblings. There is no "erasing" that.

And Then There Were 7 - S1-E11
Corrected entry: When Michael realises they have too many clowns in the car, they think they can get rid of T-bag. But T-bag says he called someone and told them that "if he doesn't hear from me 5 minutes before the escape or 20 minutes after, he'll call the warden and blow the whistle." They could just go ahead as per usual until T-bag makes the 5 minutes before call, then kill him during the escape, and they still have 20 minutes after the escape.

Corrected entry: The bad guy shoots a suppressed pistol, and Lincoln doesn't hear it, but instead is alarmed and can flee because he can hear the shell casing hit the floor like hearing a pin drop. A suppressed 9mm pistol can be heard very loudly indoors. (00:06:45)

Corrected entry: How did the FBI get the photo of Michael's tattoo? Michael would not have wanted anyone to have a photo of it in case they figured out his plan, and also the only photo they would take for prison would be a mugshot of his head.
Correction: When being admitted to prison they will have taken detailed photos of his tattoos for their records under the distinctive tattoos section so if they did escape they would be able to compare his tattoos to those on file to make sure they got the right man. The FBI had age as to his prison record. So they got it from there.
Correction: The tattoo artist tells the agents when interviewed that Michael was incredibly specific and designed the whole thing himself, which would have been a difficult task for a tattoo artist, having not worked on any preliminary sketches. This, coupled with the fact that a tattoo artist's portfolio is made of photos of their work, would mean that the artist would most certainly take detailed pictures. This is standard practice for custom work, and anything large or intricate. If Michael had refused, he may have alerted suspicion, and it also may have been an agreement with the artist that they would only do the work if it could go in their portfolio. Plus photographs of tattoos are taken as part of the identification process during various stages of being incarcerated. The FBI could have gotten the photographs from any number of sources within Department of Corrections or Chicago Police.

Corrected entry: When Veronica is watching the tape of the 'shooting' for the first time, Lincoln flinches when he gun fires but since the tape was doctored and he never actually fired the gun, he shouldn't have flinched when it supposedly went off.
