Big House, U.S.A.

Jerry Barker is convicted of extortion, but not murder because no corpse is found. Barker becomes known as the "ice man" because of his cold, icy persona in court when he was convicted. He gains the prisoners' trust after discovering their escape plan and not informing. When they take him along on the breakout, it is not out of friendship but because they're after the hidden ransom money.
