Brad Bellick is a corrupt prison guard captain at Fox River State Penitentiary. He enjoys abusing the inmates and accepts bribes for everything from the best cells to work details. He sold the rights to prison industries to incarcerated mobster John Abruzzi, who now determines who gets the coveted jobs.Bellick suspects Michael Scofield is up to something and forces an inmate named Tweener to spy on him. Bellick nearly foils Michael Scofield's escape plans many times.Bellick gets along with some cons, like Charles Westmoreland, but is cruel and sadistic when he feels wronged by them. He weilds his power like a club and does not pass up opportunities to remind the cons who's in charge.After the Fox River Eight break out of prison (not a spoiler, it's in the title), Bellick becomes a bounty hunter on their trail for the reward money. He takes the escape personally, since it happened on his watch. He clashes with FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone and his fellow guard, Roy Geary, who are also after the escapees.Bellick is the series whipping boy, and karma seems to follow him, as do prisons and prisoners, but he is not completely irredeemable.Background: Bellick has been a guard at Fox River since he graduated high school, but he really wanted to be a police officer. His mother, Edna Bellick, lives with him and he cares for her.His duties as captain include overseeing all inmates in general population, supervising the prison industries (PI) program and transporting death row inmates to the electric chair.He's a recovering addict.
