Sona Characters

• Carmelita (played by Crystal Mantecon) is Lechero's prostitute, entering Sona disguised as a nun, Sister Mary Francis. She falls in love with T-Bag, and helps him take over Sona. She also appears in the first episode of Season 4 with T-Bag.
• Cheo (played by Curtis Wayne) is one of Lechero's henchmen. He is falsely blamed for taking tribute from Augusto and is killed by Lechero.
• Cristobal (played by Rey Gallegos) is a tough inmate in Sona. After joining Lechero’s crew, he helps Sammy to overthrow Lechero. He is killed by Lechero when Sammy’s rule ends.
• Colonel Escamilla (played by Carlos Compean) is the first commanding officer of Sona Federal Prison. He has shown himself to be a cold-blooded killer when he casually executes an inmate thought to have attempted an escape. He is later replaced by General Zavala because he was not an "effective leader".
• Captain Hurtado (played by Alex Fernandez) Is a guard outside Sona Michael could not develop a plan to distract, leaving Lincoln and Gretchen to devise a plan.
• Alphonso Gallego (played by Gustavo Mellado) is McGrady's father. In "Hell or High Water", he aides his son's escape from Sona and reunites him with the rest of the family.
• Luis "McGrady" Gallego (played by Carlo Alban) is a 17-year-old prisoner of Sona. He appears in every episode of Season 3. He has a love for all things American, initiating his interest to befriend Michael Scofield in Orientacíon. McGrady (his nickname, per the back of his shirt) quickly becomes Michael's ally, helping him to obtain objects necessary to further his escape plan. When McGrady learns of the escape, he confronts Michael demanding to be included. Fearing for McGrady's safety, Michael at first refuses, but is unable to persuade him to stay and later relents, allowing McGrady into the escape, but tells McGrady he cannot be responsible for him on the outside. In "Hell or High Water" McGrady successfully escapes from Sona along with Michael and other inmates, but then separates from the group along with his father. McGrady is then reunited with his family in Colombia, when his father smuggles him through the border - which is technically impossible due to the Darien gap.
• General Mestas (played by Julio Cedillo) is the short-tempered commander of Sona after General Zavala's death. In "Hell or High Water", he leads the efforts to capture the Sona 4.
• Juan Nieves (played by Manny Rubio) is Lechero's lieutenant in charge of Sona drug distribution. T-Bag kills him to climb in the ranks, staging the death to look like an overdose.
• Papo (played by Davi Jay) is one of Lechero's thugs. Falsely accused of attempting an escape, he is promptly shot by Colonel Escamilla.
• Rafael (played by Joseph Melendez) is one of the guards protecting the walls of Sona Federal Prison. He is immediately suspicious of Sucre upon his employment as the new Sona grave digger. After the Escape of the Sona 4, Rafael and the other guards discover that Sucre had aided the escape. They torture him for information on their whereabouts, but when Sucre proves unwilling to divulge any information, they throw him into the prison.
• Sammy (played by Laurence Mason) is an inmate and Lechero's right hand man. He is temperamental and violent, and is easily undefeated in the Sona death matches. Sammy dislikes Lechero's new henchman, T-Bag, and is increasingly uncertain of Lechero's leadership. He later expresses his desire to reinforce Lechero's gang with the inmate Cristobal and his men, which Lechero warily accepts. Sammy is outraged when Lechero refuses to kill Michael after Sammy's friend Papo is killed, falsely accused for Michael's escape attempt. Augusto, Lechero's cousin, has a gun delivered to Sammy, encouraging him to overthrow Lechero. Egged on by Cristobal, Sammy stages a coup to take control of Sona in the episode "Dirt Nap", though he allows Lechero to live, and places a bounty on Scofield's head. When Michael is captured, Sammy realizes that he and Lechero are secretly planning to escape. Visibly hurt, he plans to kill Michael but never gets the chance, as he dies when the escape tunnel caves-in on him. It collapsed due to being intentionally sabotaged by Michael. At the end of the episode, Lechero, back in power, kicks Sammy's dead body off his balcony.
• Andrew Tyge (played by Dominic Keating) arrives as a new inmate in "Interference" who recognices Whistler by a different name. Tyge is later found murdered in "Photo Finish".
• General Zavala (played by Castulo Guerra) is the second commanding officer of Sona after replacing Colonel Escamilla. Zavala is described as a powerful man in his province, and plays a central role in the episode "Boxed In", where he attempts to investigate the helicopter raid on Sona. After Michael reveals The Company's plot to break out James Whistler and his own involvement in the breakout attempts, Zavala captures Gretchen Morgan, the head of the Company mission, and authorizes her torture when she refuses to admit to her participation in the scheme. She eventually breaks, and offers to lead Zavala to where L.J. Burrows is held hostage. Instead, however, she leads him to the wrong location and ends up overpowering him and his guard. Zavala is then shot and killed by Gretchen.
