Season 1
Joe Ramsey was at Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center and was seen when people were filming from Prison Life. Joe made a plan to escape and did take the clothes from a Correction Officer. An officer asked if he was new and he said yes. Joe then did run away and was a fugitive. Joe was at a school, and saw Tess Samuels, but Erica Reed did discovered him and he did run after him in the woods. Joe then was at a house, but was already gone when the Breakout Kings did come. Joe then shot with bullets, but killed none. Lloyd Lowery and Julianne Simms then discovered that Mr. Samuels was the real man behind everything and that Tess had to say that Joe Ramsey was behind it.
Later, Joe was discovered and he was brought to the warehouse. Tess and her mother came and told him to say "sorry". Mr. Samuels was arrested and Joe was free to go (this happened off-screen).
