LJ Burrows

At fifteen, there's not much more in your life besides school, homework, parents and friends. That was the case for Lincoln Junior Burrows (Marshall Allman) until his father's last appeal had been rejected and a date had been set for his execution. LJ's mum, Lisa Rix, and dad, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), have been separated since he was very young. LJ visited his father every Sunday, which then turned into scarce visits from Lincoln, which turned into nothing at all. Hurt and confused, LJ blocked out his feelings and decided that the best way to deal with the situation is to pretend that he never had a father, "it wasn't an immaculate conception honey, trust me" (Lisa Rix).
Before Lincoln's execution date was set, LJ was a good boy. He lived with his mum and step-dad in a nice Chicago suburb, he got mostly A's in school and he never got into any serious trouble. However, with his father's execution date just around the corner, and his uncle being arrested, LJ lost it. LJ was arrested for possession of marijuana and put on probation. LJ also had to visit a mentor at Fox River, his father, once a week. LJ had previously been to visit his father recently and had been full of anger and resentment towards Lincoln. The visit ended with LJ declaring, "you're already dead to me" before walking off. But after the first few visits, Lincoln and LJ grew closer and started repairing their relationship, and Lincoln was able to express his love to his son. Lincoln then asked LJ to be present at his execution, and with tears streaming down his face, LJ accepted.
Meanwhile, Agents Kellerman and Hale are trying to get rid of Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney) and Nick Savrinn (Frank Grillo) and decide to also threaten to eliminate LJ to keep Lincoln quiet, "One Burrows is going to die, it's up to you which one." Kellerman and Hale then proceeded to murder LJ's mother and stepfather and framed him for it, and then issued a warrant for his arrest. LJ was on the run for a while barefoot, until Lincoln contacted him and told him to call Veronica.
Veronica and LJ then sent Kellerman and Hale on a wild goose chase, pretending that LJ had gone to Lake Mercer where in fact he had gone to New Glarus to join Veronica and Nick. Despite being in an isolated cabin, Agent Quinn found them and attempted to kill all three. Fortunately, LJ managed to push him down an empty well, and then they escaped again.
They went back to Nick's apartment. On the day of Lincoln's execution, Veronica got ready to go say her goodbyes. LJ begged to go with her to see his father one last time, but Veronica refused, knowing that LJ would be arrested. After reaching Fox River and talking to Lincoln for a while, Veronica called LJ on her cell phone and let Lincoln talk to LJ for the last time. LJ told his father about a dream he had about them building a house, but he felt that they were older in the dream so he was sure that they would see each other again. LJ's words affected Lincoln a lot, as he bowed his head with tears in his eyes.
When Lincoln's execution did not go ahead, Nick, Veronica and LJ went back to New Glarus to see if Agent Quinn had left any evidence. LJ was lowered into the well and retrieved Quinn's mobile phone, but he also found the names "Owen Kravecki" and "Kellerman" carved on the side of the well. LJ gave the mobile phone to Veronica and Nick but left the names to himself.
After Nick and Veronica rushed out to analyze the data on Quinn's mobile phone, LJ used a laptop to find Owen Kravecki's address. LJ then broke into Kellerman's house and tried to shoot him. Unfortunately, LJ was arrested when a neighbour called the police.
LJ is currently in jail for the murder of his mother and stepfather and the attempted murder of Owen Kravecki.
