Michael calculated water flow volume by watching a cockroach float past. Yes, really.
Did we miss an escape? Some fans argue the Scylla heist (Season 4) counts as a "breakout" from a building, but since no prison bars were involved, it didn't make this list. Let us know in the comments.
However, there is a debate among fans regarding his second stint in Sona. At the start of Season 4, we learn that Michael actually escaped from Sona during a prison riot to get back to the US. While we don't see the mechanics of that escape, it technically counts as a successful exit.
In the film The Final Break , Michael orchestrated an elaborate plan to break his wife, Sara Tancredi, out of the women's facility.
