Sleight of Hand - S1-E10

Factual error: They have made it a point that Scofield is incarcerated in a prison in Illinois, and even gets married so he can be eligible for conjugal visits during his stay so he can pass information or items to his "wife" or she to him. In Illinois, conjugal visits aren't allowed. Only something like six states allow them, and this isn't one of them. Totally a plot hole, and since this thing was so carefully planned out, I would think he would run across this information ahead of time.

And Then There Were 7 - S1-E11

Plot hole: When Scofield comes back after visiting his wife, Fernando announces his arrival. However the problem is, everyone is inside digging the hole. As Fernando walks in along with Scofield, it leaves no one outside watching for guards. The guys are at least smart enough to keep the watch outside instead of all staying inside. If a guard shows up unnoticed, they are screwed. (00:09:40)

Michael Scofield: I thought your cousin was trying to move in on your girl.
Fernando Sucre: That's my other cousin but thanks for bringing that up, jackass.

Answer: Roughly as follows. Linc "kills" Steadman in 2001. Michael robs the bank on March 9th 2005 and is sent to Fox River on April 11th. The breakout from Fox River takes place on or around May 25-31. Michael arrives in Sona on June 17th 2005. More details are here: https://prisonbreak.fandom.com/wiki/Prison_Break_timeline.

That wouldn't make sense because the original grave stone in series 4 has Michael's death date as 2005, which is supposed to be at least 3 years after Fox River.
