NAME:
Captain Brad Bellick
Captain Bellick passed the Correctional Officer Exam
the autumn after he graduated high school and has
been at Fox River Penitentiary ever since. In that
time, he has slowly and steadily climbed up the C.O.
ranks.
Three years ago, despite several claims of inmate
abuse (none of which could ever be corroborated),
Bellick was promoted to the position of captain, the
highest rank a C.O. can earn. Today, his duties
include: aiding in the transportation of death row
inmates to the electric chair, supervising Fox
River’s prison industries program and overseeing the
day-to-day operations of all the inmates in general
population.
Bellick is what’s known as a C.O.’s C.O.. His view
is there is no such thing as a “good convict,” and
the main purpose of a prison is punishment, not
rehabilitation.
