Prison Break does not 'copy' Shawshank Redemption any more than Shawshank copies The Great Escape or Escape from Alcatraz or Papillon or even Hogan's Heroes. They share common themes inherent in the genre.
What was prison break inspired by?
Prison Break would be lightly based on their own escape. Donald Hughes helped his brother Robert out of a juvenile detention center in 1964. He was allegedly wrongly accused of a felony and sentenced to 5 years in prison. They then lived a life of fugitives for 4 years.
Is Shawshank Redemption Based on a real story?
No, it's not a true story. Before the director Frank Darabont got his numerous awards and role as the producer of shows like Mob City and The Walking dead, he was simply yet another broke producer.
