<P> The story starts off with Sara being arrested for the murder of Christina ( Scofield ) Hampton , during her and Michael 's wedding reception . It is implied that surveillance video was altered by agents loyal to the General ( Jonathan Krantz ) ( Leon Russom ) by removing Christina 's gun to make it look as if Sara shot Christina in cold blood rather than self - defence . She is held in the Miami - Dade State Penitentiary , where overcrowding necessitates that the female prison and jail inmates are housed in the same building . Gretchen Morgan watches from a distance , having been imprisoned after the events in `` The Sunshine State '' . Sara is attacked as revenge by the Miami - Dade COs for having left the infirmary door unlocked , allowing the `` Fox River Eight '' to escape and eventual dismissal or suspension of several staff members of Fox River . </P>
