Theodore Bagwell is one of the most dangerous predators at Fox River Penitentiary.

Theodore Bagwell was born of both incest and rape; his father had sexually assaulted his Down syndrome-afflicted sister, who later gave birth to Theodore.

Not surprisingly, he has barely known a life outside of confinement. After multiple citations for vandalism and cruelty to animals, a ten year old Bagwell was caught attempting to burn down the home of his fourth grade teacher and was sent to juvenile hall. It was there that Bagwell was first introduced to a white supremacist gang, known as the Alliance for Purity.

As Bagwell grew up, his crimes grew more serious, including assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder. For these crimes, Bagwell was sentenced to Alabama’s Donaldson maximum-security prison where he immediately assumed a leadership position in the Alliance for Purity.

Upon Bagwell’s release four years ago, he immediately returned to a life of crime, and embarked on a rape and murder spree across Alabama that included several teenage victims and landed him on America’s Most Wanted, the popular television series. Once captured, Bagwell’s attorney petitioned for Bagwell to be incarcerated out of state, for fear of re-establishing power in the Alliance for Purity. When Bagwell landed in Fox River ten months ago, its chapter of the Alliance was non-existent. Thanks to the charismatic “T-Bag,” it is now one of the most powerful gangs in the prison.

oh and Teabagging is a slang term for the act of a man placing his genitals, specifically the scrotum, on the face, head, or in the mouth of another person. The practice vaguely resembles dipping a teabag into a cup of tea. Sometimes teabagging is taken to specifically mean the act of a male stripper repeatedly tapping and grinding his testicles into a patron's forehead. In this case the patron was "teabagged."
