Prison Mike

Michael Scott's "Prison Mike" is a caricatured alter ego he adopts on the show The Office to illustrate the harsh realities of prison life, aiming to convince his colleagues that working at Dunder Mifflin is preferable. This persona, marked by a purple bandana, a New York English accent, and stereotypical prison slang, is based on information Michael gathered from movies and the internet. Through exaggerated stories, including references to "Dementors," Prison Mike attempts to shock his coworkers into appreciating their current situation, although his portrayal is criticized by Martin, an ex-convict, who finds it inaccurate. The character highlights Michael's comedic and misguided attempts to connect with his employees, showcasing his tendency to overstep and misinterpret situations.
