After originally telling Michael to turn himself in, Pope finally realized what it was all about and advised Michael to keep fighting. Although there were sporadic appearances after he left his role of warden, Pope was most notably there when Michael discovered the thumb drive that proved his brother hadn't killed the Vice President’s brother. Pope lasted 18 years before resigning due to the escape of the Fox River Eight.
