[edit] Background

Before Whistler was incarcerated in the Sona Federal Penitentiary, he allegedly was a fisherman (3x2) running a charter boat between America and Austraila. One day, he got a call demanding to know exactly where he took a naturalist of some sort who took water samples and measurements. He said he couldn't remember – but then government types started snooping around. And then a bar fight, he killed the mayor's son, (3x2) leading to his incarceration in Sona. The people who are trying to get him out demand that as soon as they do, he show them where he took that guy. (3x3)

After he was transfered into Sona, he hid into a crawlspace as all other inmates wanted to kill him, avenging the mayor, in order to be freed.

Meanwhile, a woman named Susan B. Anthony took LJ and Sara as hostage to force Michael break him out of the jail. Mahone, however, knew that Whistler might be his ticket out of Sona, thus threatened to kill Whistler, removing him from the crawlspace. Michael, at the same time, helped Lechero solved the water crisis, and Lechero protected Whistler and offered him food and clothes, in favor to Michael. (3x2) He helped Michael fixing the electricity when Michael told him his initial plan of breaking out. (3x4)

Once outside the prison walls, Michael and Lincoln managed to trade him for LJ then he fled the country with Mahone and Susan.
