Charles Westmoreland

Charles Westmoreland is the oldest inmate at Fox River and has served the longest out of all the current inmates. He?s the Boy Scout of the Penitentiary; Westmoreland has managed to keep his nose clean since he walked into Fox River 28 years ago. Westmoreland is believed to be the legendary D.B. Cooper, which he has been persistently denying for the last 28 years. In 1971, Cooper notoriously held a 727 full of passenger?s ransom until he was paid $1.5 million, then parachuted from the plane into the woods of the Pacific Northwest, never to be seen again. However, there has never been enough evidence to convict him. Throughout the years, Westmoreland has been threatened and beat by other inmates wanting money, he even once suffered a broken nose. But when Westmoreland never cracked and kept denying that he was D.B Cooper, the rest of the inmates finally started believing him. Michael has planned the escape believing otherwise, and needs the money desperately. A grandfather clause in the prison's policy allowed him to keep a grey cat named Marylin. Westmoreland is known to be a quiet and gentle man who gets along with Henry Pope and all the C.O.?s including Bellick. However their relationship takes a turn for the worse when Westmoreland refuses to tell Bellick who killed Bob. News of his daughter?s, Anna, serious illness which will lead to her certain death, prompted Westmoreland to plead with the Warden, as he asked to see his daughter one last time. Henry Pope relucantly tells him that he can?t help him with that. This, along with the murder of his beloved cat, Marylin, whom Westmoreland believes to have been murdered by Bellick, stimulated him to ask Michael if he could be part of the escape. To prove that he was in fact D.B. Cooper, showing Michael a one hundred dollar bill matching the serial number of the first bill from the legendary hijacking. Westmoreland is the man who saves everyone?s skin, when he attacked and tied up Bellick after Bellick discovered the hole. During the struggled, Westmoreland was cut with a sharp piece of glass, and in fear of not being allowed to escape that night, he keeps it to himself. As the team are escaping through the infirmary, Westmoreland collapses and tells Michael to go on without him. His last request was for Michael to visit his daughter Anna and give her his love, and then told him the location of the money, and revealed that the sum was actually 5 million dollars, and not 1.5 million. Charles Westmoreland was found dead by the Warden in the infirmary.
