PRISON BREAK 101 ARCHIVES

- Season 1 : Research
By Dawn Aulet

STAFF WRITER

For those who attend Pilcher Park Nature Center's Pioneer Festival and Pancake Breakfast, the "sugaring shack," where staff turns maple tree sap into syrup, will look much like it did last year. Participants will gather on a platform in the wooden structure and watch as sap from the park's maple trees flows through a metal pipe to the evaporator. 
 

Had they tried to visit the shack a week ago, however, a much different site would have greeted them. 
 

"It looks different now," Nature Center Superintendent Debbie Greene said as she took me to see the cabin Thursday. 
 

Transformed for television

When I last saw it, Jan. 15, the inside of the sugar shack was made to look like a cabin, complete with a stove, refrigerator and limited comforts of home. The 'cabin' served as a getaway for three characters from Fox's television show "Prison Break.”

 

No one from "Prison Break" remained on the property when I visited, but the set was still intact. 
 

On the show, it is Nick Savrinn's (Frank Grillo) father's cabin, to which Nick, Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney) and LJ Burrows (Marshall Allman) run to hide from the Secret Service. In the show Donovan is the ex-girlfriend of Lincoln Burrows (Dominick Purcell) and she is trying to get Lincoln Burrows out of prison for a crime he did not commit before he is executed. 
 

"Prison Break" is about structural engineer Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), who commits a crime in order to get sent to prison to help his brother Lincoln Burrows escape. 
 

As many know, the bulk of the show is filmed at the former Joliet Correctional Facility on Collins Street. 
 

A less well-known fact is the set tucked into the woods at Pilcher Park. The series filmed its last episode for this season there on Jan. 20. 
 

At that time, Greene said, producers had a choice: either take the set apart or build her a new sugar shack, because maple sugar time was fast approaching.

 

They kept the shack intact... 
 
Thank you to Jean for the heads up!
