Mistake Continuity: Season 2, episode 9. After Lincoln and LJ have been recognized by the waitress, they speed off down a road. During their conversation in the car, whenever we see LJ from (his) right side, his hair is blowing in a strong draft, and is blown away from the temple. In all other shots, his hair is completely calm, and is hanging down and forward, covering his right temple completely.

Mistake Continuity: S03E02 - When Scofield has water poured in to his glass the water level isn't even a quarter full, however, when it cuts back the glass is half full.

Mistake Continuity: Season 2, episode 6. While the guys are digging in the garage, Michael tells Sucre about the website they can use, as C-Note walks in. He closes the door behind him, but misses the catch, and you can see the door start to swing open again behind him as he walks further into the room. Cut to Lincoln for a second, then to a wide shot, and the door is now firmly closed.

Pilot (season 1, episode 1)

Mistake Continuity: This happens in the scene where Lisa is scolding LJ for getting arrested. When LJ says "I don't have a father", he is leaning on the table with his arms crossed. When the shot changes, his arms are uncrossed and in a completely different position.

Cute Poison (season 1, episode 4)

Mistake Continuity: Episode "Cute Poison": When Veronica is having coffee with Nick, she picks up her cup to take a sip and is holding it around the rim. When the shot changes she is holding it by the handle.

Across whole show

Mistake Continuity: Season 2, Episode 16 "Chicago": As the train is aproaching the police road block, we get a shot behind the police cars right before the train hits them. At that point all the policemen are gone. In the next shot, the policemen are back by the police cars.

Cute Poison (season 1, episode 4)

Mistake Revealing: Near the end, when Michael is unscrewing the sink before kicking the wall in, watch his hands in the foreground while he is talking to Sucre. Just when Sucre says "But what you were doing up there in the infirmary." Michael starts using his fingers to take the bolt out. You can see that there is no bolt, just him turning air, with a mystery 'unscrewing' sound effect.

All of series 2 (season 2)

Mistake Plot hole: Season 2, Episode 10: While Sara and Michael are running around the factory getting chased by Mahone, Paul Kellerman is seen in Wilcox Arizona. Sara and Michael go to their hotel in Gila New Mexico. Michael takes a bath and Sara leaves. When she steps out of the car Paul is there. How did he cover the 130 miles from Wilcox to Gila in that time?

Mistake Factual error: Series 2, Episode 11: Linc arrives to the 'Bolshoi Booze' location at 17:45. It is an 8 hour drive from Trinidad Colorado to that location, which is right on the Texas - New Mexico border. That means that they would have had to have left at 09:45 that morning. But they don't appear to have stayed a night at Linc's father's place - and in none of the other plot lines has it been night. They couldn't have covered that ground in the time span of the plot.

Part 2 (2) (season 1, episode 8)

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In Riots, Drills and the Devil Part 2, when LJ's mom turns off the TV, the camera man's image can be seen in the glass next to the television.

Across whole show

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: S03-E12: After the bus driver has given Lincoln's description to the police, it cuts to Lincoln driving a car. The camera moves closely in to the car and you can see both the camera and a couple of crew members reflected in the window.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: S03-E12: When Lincoln gets on the boat, it cuts to a shot from behind him, and the camera's shadow is visible on his back.

All of series 2 (season 2)

Mistake Revealing: In the episode where Scofield, Sucre and T-Bag are driving in Panama, the trees in the background have no leaves - like Autumn/Winter in the US. And even though there of course are trees in Panama which shed their leaves, there is no time of year when all trees are leafless - like in the temperate zones. That shot was definitely not filmed in Panama.

Mistake Plot hole: Season 2, Episode 10: T-Bag is linked to the heater when the cops start knocking on the door. He goes down to bite his hand off, and has completed that and gotten away before the cops enter. How long were they knocking on that door?!

Otis (season 2, episode 2)

Mistake Continuity: When Michael is sitting in the park he's staring at the front page of the newspaper. As the camera follows a man in the park you can see that Michael has opened to the midpages, but in the next shot Michael is looking at the front page again, before opening it another time.

First Down (season 2, episode 4)

Mistake Continuity: When Abruzzi is shot, he falls backwards and lands with his head pointing towards the wall of the motel. Cut to the FBI agent, then back to Abruzzi, and he is now lying the complete opposite way, with his feet pointing towards the wall.

Otis (season 2, episode 2)

Mistake Factual error: In the scene where Bellick is about to commit suicide, his mother yells that there is a reward on the Fox River Eight. When Bellick replies, he is speaking very low, almost whispering, but his mother seems to hear him loud and clear.

All of series 2 (season 2)

Mistake Continuity: Episode 14 - John Doe. Bellick is in the prison, and is being threatened by 'Banks.' As Banks and his crew walk away, in two different shots, you can see an elderly gentlemen (looking like Charles Westmoreland) walk across the screen, left to right. He does this twice, without there being time for him to run around.

Across whole show

Mistake Factual error: Episode: Bad Blood. When the airport security guard stops to give Sucre a ride, his car has Sinaloa plates on it. Since he works in Ixtapa/Zihuatinejo, it should have Guerrero plates on it. Sinaloa is several hundred miles away.

Part 2 (2) (season 1, episode 8)

Mistake Continuity: This happens during LJ's fight with his mom and step-dad. When LJ says "You got no clue do you?" you can see Lisa's hands on his shoulders trying to calm him down. When the shot changes, Lisa's hands are on her hips.
