[edit] Incest

"His behaviour is attributed to the environment he grew up in. T-Bag's father raped his sister, who had been afflicted with Down Syndrome. His sister was also his mother. Knowing this fact, Captain Bellick tried to insult T-Bag and referred him as an "inbred child of a retard". T-Bag was no doubt hurt and angered." It may just have been something Bellick made up to piss T-Bag off. Nowhere in the series do they confirm it. Someone should edit it. Paulus Caesar

That's just speculation on your part. There's nothing to suggest that Bellick made it up. Why would T-Bag be so furious if it was false?--CyberGhostface 00:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
I agree. I have heard people take the piss by saying something like "you are a child of a retard" or something like that. I also think he would have more physical and mental deformaties if he was the offspring of 2 siblings, one of which was retarded. Also, Bellick laughed aftwer he said it suggesting that he did make it up and he was amused that it pissed T-Bag off so much. --Xsamix 21:53, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Bellick laughed because he enjoyed causing Bagwell pain. This is the same guy who killed an innocent kitten because its owner wouldn't rat out someone. Again, what you are saying counts as original research. There is NOTHING to suggest that Bellick was just foolin' around.
As for mental deformities...yeah, T-Bag has to be the perfect picture of mental health.--CyberGhostface 01:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, he would have no mental or physical deformities because incestual relationships have no side-effects and I don't believe Down Syndrome is hereditary.

I think its safe to say that T-Bag is born of incest now...although there was never any doubt to begin with, and those who denied in the first place were only fooling themselves.--CyberGhostface 04:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links

Why is this character linked to LGBT-characters? His personality is much more complex and his sexual preferences are based on upbringing, surroundings, mental state, etc. He is not a stereotypical stock character on should not be linked as such! Please remove!

He's still a bisexual character.--CyberGhostface 00:12, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox image

Due to Fox's terms of use and source information, the previous promotional picture has been replaced by a cropped television screenshot. If you seek to replace it with a promotional image, please specify its original source and copyright information. -- Ladida 14:25, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Great quotations

Prison Break is full of brilliant one-liners, and particularly memmorable is T-Bag, saying something along the lines of:

(speaking about Thailand) "Black market surgery, anonymous transplant donors, hes dressed as shes... What's not to like?

Is it appropriate to include this? I recognise that there is a danger of flooding the characters pages with quotations... —anskas 13:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

You could make a Wikiquote page for T-Bag and his quotes, and place a link for it in this wikipedia article, then you could have quotations without flooding the character's page. Siyavash 19:57, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia typo

I can't seem to find a way to edit the Trivia, can somebody please remove the annoying typo "don't broking".. I guess that's "not breaking" or something.. 62.163.80.195 11:16, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] T-Bag saved Michael's plans.

When Geary was selling Scofield's cell to the highest bidder, the bidder complained about the leaking toliet seat. T-Bag was the one who found this out, and quickly mustered up a plan with C-Note and Westmorland to save the cell from being bought. T-Bag may have done it for his own self as well (since Scofield's failure will lead to his failure from breaking out as well), but I think this feat from Bagwell deserves a mention in the Season 1 article.

I had edited the article before and included it, someone rectified the article with more accurate terms, but now its deleted. Can someone please add this back?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Params7 (talk • contribs) 14:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC).

I deleted it because I was trying to make the article shorter (with little success) and that seemed to me, while important, more of a stand-alone incident. Do you know if you could integrate it into the article as part of another paragraph (for example, "this plan included T-Bag doing such and such when..." in addition to another fact)?--CyberGhostface 19:52, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Appearances

The "Appearances" section provides a summary of the character's plot in the season. It should be kept brief and is not supposed to contain details concerning the show's plot. Also, the summary should be written in such a way so that it adheres to the guidelines in Wikipedia:Writing about fiction. I've rewritten the season 2 Appearances section. Please try to write with a "perspective of the real world", unlike the former summary which was written totally with an in-universe perspective. Regards, Ladida 13:25, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
