"Prison Break Bob" is the protagonist of a specific sub-genre of escape literature: the Sisyphean Escapist . Unlike the tragic hero who escapes to freedom (the Steve McQueen archetype) or the victim who escapes to justice (the wrongful conviction archetype), Bob escapes because he can. He is a creature of habit. He is often depicted as a genial, non-violent offender whose relationship with the warden is strangely domestic. He breaks out, not to flee to Mexico or to clear his name, but often simply to go to the pub, visit his mother, or taunt the guards, only to return or be retrieved by morning.
By the mid-20th century, as the prison system became more industrialized, the "Bob" figure began appearing in jokes and cartoons (most notably influencing characters like in Blackadder or the various inmates in Porridge ). The trope solidified:
Years after his death, archive footage of Bob appeared in Season 2, a testament to the lasting impact his murder had on the series' darker themes .
You're referring to Robert "Bob" Ekwesh, but I think you might be talking about Robert Hanssen, also known as "Prison Break Bob." However, I believe you may actually be referring to Robert Hanssen, a former FBI agent who was convicted of spying for Russia, and a piece of trivia related to him.
