  Guards: No touching!


Apart from regular prison inmates George Bluth, White Power Bill, and Little Justice; G.O.B. was briefly incarcerated at the prison as part of this prison escape illusion. ("Key Decisions") Tobias also stayed at the prison for a short while to research his role of Frightened Inmate #2. ("Staff Infection") ("Missing Kitty") Barry Zuckerkorn was imprisoned after hitting Tobias with his car, and like George he considered it a vacation. ("The One Where Michael Leaves") Oscar Bluth was mistaken for George Bluth and was incarcerated for several months. ("Righteous Brothers") He attempted to spread the word that he was Oscar via the IMOSCAR.COM website. ("The Cabin Show")

The Bluth family later held a gala at the prison, hosted by the inmates, as part of their annual TBA fundraiser, this year to cure Tobias' Graft Versus Host condition. ("Prison Break-In")
