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.

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)
