Antwon Mitchell - Prison Life

Prison Life

Since his imprisonment, Mitchell has risen to a place of power within the prison, essentially running it, to the extent that he is depicted in one scene enjoying an illicit encounter with a female admirer in a prison storeroom, with prison guards speaking to him deferentially. He also supports a revival of the fading One Niners gang and even attempts to run his drug ring from inside. He also makes a deal with Internal Affairs Lieutenant Jon Kavanaugh to give up information on the Strike Team in exchange for their incarceration at his prison. However, he makes a separate deal with Mackey to provide financial assistance for the One Niners in exchange for Curtis "Lem" Lemansky's protection in prison. The deal goes through, but only pulls in a small haul of cash. Combined with Kavanaugh's investigation of the prison system that puts a cramp in Mitchell's personal comfort, Mitchell declared the deal off and vowed to have Lemansky murdered, no matter which prison he was sent to.

In the aftermath, Mackey and the Strike Team hid Lemansky in a trailer park. The heat brought on by IAD led to Lemansky's murder at the hands of Shane Vendrell. Determined to wreak bloody revenge on Lemansky's murderer, Vic paid a visit to Antwon in prison. Although the drug lord was flattered that Vic blamed him for all the ills in the world, he admitted that he had nothing to do with it and gloated over Vic's situation, realizing that Vic would only be questioning him about the murder if he didn't have any real leads.
