SONA
McGrady
Luis Gallego AKA McGrady
Played By: Carlo Alban
A 17-year-old prisoner of Sona. He has a love for all things American, initiating his interest to befriend Michael Scofield. McGrady (his nickname, based on the basketball jersey he wears of former NBA star Tracy McGrady) quickly becomes Michael's ally, helping him to obtain objects necessary to further his escape plan.
- Contrasting Replacement Character: He has similarities with Tweener from the two first seasons. Both are among the youngest inmates of Fox River and Sona, rarely called by their real name, get a sentence of several years for relatively minor offenses (Tweener stole a baseball card he didn't know was invaluable, and McGrady's charge is somehow related to driving a stolen car), like basketball and enjoy a culture that's different from their origins, are used by Michael to break out of prison, and he includes them in his escape plan at the last minute out of pity. However, Tweener (who comes to Fox River after Michael) quickly becomes a pariah among Fox River's inmates, is used and/or abused by Bellick, Michael and Avocado, and his loyalties between Bellick and Michael remain shaky. McGrady (who was already in Sona before Michael) in turn enjoys a somewhat bearable situation in Sona due to being friendly with everyone there, and he never betrays Michael. While Tweener is forced to go on his own way after his escape and is killed by Mahone soon after, McGrady gets to live with his family after Michael helps him reunite with his father.

Roland Glenn
Roland Glenn
Played By: James Hiroyuki Liao

Prior to his conviction, he made a device that could download information off any electronic devices near it, which the "A-Team" uses to get information on Scylla.
