Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Bellick: "You TALKIN' OUT THE SIDE OF YOUR NECK?"

Answer: Can't be true/don't know what you're talking about

"Prison Break" episode "Pilot"
"Talkin' out the side of your neck" A phrase officers use to express disbelief in what an inmate is saying is a phrase derived from a time when prisoners were not allowed to speak to each other and learned to talk to the person next to them while standing and looking straight ahead.

2. Sucre: "Suggest you take a seat, FISH."

Answer: A new prisoner

"Prison Break" episode "Pilot"
A 'fish' is a new prisoner or someone unschooled in prison etiquette.

3. Sucre: "You couldn't BUST A GRAPE in Napa with a set of cleats on."

Answer: Fight

"Prison Break" episode "Pilot"
To "bust a grape" is to challenge another inmate to take physical action and become violent.

4. C-Note: "You're one mixed up SNOWFLAKE, you know that?"

Answer: A white person

"Prison Break" episode "Pilot"
"Snowflake" is a derogatory term for a Caucasian (white person).

5. Corrections Officer: "Burrows. ROLL IT UP. Happy hour's over."

Answer: Move along

"Prison Break" episode "Pilot"
When ordered to "roll it up" by a correctional officer, a prisoner must move out of an area as quickly as possible. Or as in the case where Sucre tells Michael he's rolling it up - he's telling Michael he's moving to another cell.

6. Pope: "Behaviour like that out on the yard today isn't tolerable in my prison. Ninety days in the SHU ought to be enough time for you to contemplate that fact, arrive at the same conclusion."

Answer: Segregated Housing Unit

"Prison Break" episode "Pilot"
"Segregated Housing Unit", pronounced "shoe,". Prisoners can be placed there as punishment, or if they pose a threat to prison security. The SHU is characterised by almost total isolation, sensory deprivation and a limited access to programs.

7. Sucre: "The DIRT shuts down the water so you can't flush your contraband."

Answer: Disciplinary Intervention and Response Team

"Prison Break" episode "Allen"
"DIRT: Disciplinary Intervention and Response Team" is a team of specially trained correctional officers who are utilised in shakedowns, riots, to break up fights, etc.

8. Bellick: "Got a SHANK in here."

Answer: Weapon

"Prison Break" episode "Allen"
A "shank" is a handmade prison weapon; generally a stabbing instrument. Also called a shiv or a piece. Made out of scrap metal found anywhere and sharpened like a knife and the bottom tightly wrapped with a cloth as a handle.

9. T-Bag: "Well, you wanna fight, you gonna get your chance. Next COUNT."

Answer: Prisoner count

"Prison Break" episode "Allen"
The institutional count (COUNT for short), is repeated at different times in the day. Everything stops while prison staff makes sure no one is missing. May be referred to as the "count time." In the federal system, an unscheduled count may be referred to as "census count."

10. Corrections Officer: "I said back off, Haywire! You want a HOT SHOT?"

Answer: Pepper spray

"Prison Break" episode "Cute Poison"
A "hot shot" is a pepper spray or a lethal injection of an opiate.
