Ep 17. J-Cat

In Prison Break season 1 episode 17, titled "J-Cat," Michael Scofield and his fellow inmates at Fox River Penitentiary are given an opportunity to reduce their sentences through a program called "J-Cat." This program allows prisoners to earn time off their sentence by participating in a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program.

Michael believes that this program is an opportunity for him to get access to the infirmary where he can steal medicine to help Lincoln Burrows, who is suffering from a mysterious illness. However, the head of the program, Henry Pope, is suspicious of Michael's motives and keeps a close eye on him.

Meanwhile, Sucre is struggling with his own addiction issues and is finding it difficult to make progress in the program. T-Bag, on the other hand, is excelling in the program, earning the trust of the guards and even getting a job in the infirmary.

As tensions rise within the program, Michael realizes that he must work with Sucre and T-Bag if he wants to succeed in his plan. He also discovers that his cellmate, Haywire, is not taking his medication and is becoming increasingly unstable, which could jeopardize their entire operation.

While Michael and his team carry out their plan, Lincoln's lawyer, Veronica, discovers new evidence that could potentially exonerate him. However, her investigation puts her in danger, and she must rely on the help of an unlikely ally.

"J-Cat" is an intense and action-packed episode that takes viewers deeper into the world of prison life. The added element of the drug rehabilitation program adds a new layer to the story, highlighting the struggles that inmates face both inside and outside of prison. With twists and turns at every corner, this episode is a must-watch for fans of the series.
