Don Black

"Oh, I like her..."

Don Black was an accomplice of Weeks during an unsuccessful prison riot. He appeared in Lockdown.

Background
No specific information is known about Black, including how he became an inmate at the Federal Reagan Penitentiary in the first place. However, given his aggressive attitude towards Kate and his later attempt to rape her, his crime(s) may have involved a sexual component towards at least one woman.

Lockdown
Black's cell was one of those opened up by corrupt prison guard Dale Shavers, who hired Weeks to orchestrate a prison riot that would result in the death of Tom Polinsky, another prison guard who was about to sell out Shavers. He is the first one to step out of his cell, and then leads an attack on a responding prison guard, having two other inmates hold him while he shanks him to death. He and three other inmates then attack an interrogation room containing Polinsky, Kate, and Morgan. Black is attacked by Kate, but he overpowers her and then shanks Polinsky twice, injuring him. Then, he holds Kate at knifepoint with his shiv, while his accomplices subdue Morgan, who is then held at knifepoint by Weeks. Weeks then leads him, the hostages, and the other rioting inmates to the prison cafeteria. On the way there, Black begins showing a sexual interest in Kate, which only intensifies whenever she tries to rebel against him.

Upon entering the cafeteria, Weeks tries to beat Morgan with a stolen baton, while Black grabs Kate and tries to take her to another part of the cafeteria to rape her, much to Weeks' disapproval and Morgan's protests. The inmates are then confronted by Julio Watson and his cronies, who demand them to stand down, as Morgan and Kate are federal agents and their deaths would land them all on death row. Black and Weeks tell Watson to stay out of their business, but he refuses. When Kate and Morgan try to convince them that the prison will be dismantled because of Shavers' criminal activities, their attempts are only met with disapproval by Black. Then, Polinsky collapses to the ground, bleeding out from his injuries inflicted by Black. He sadistically takes Polinsky to another area of the cafeteria and begins beating him. However, a police sniper responding to the riot shoots Black in the chest, killing him, while SWAT agents move into the cafeteria and arrest Weeks and the other inmates. Afterwards, Kate is shown visibly traumatized by the ordeal, especially her close call with Black.

Modus Operandi
During the prison riot, Black shanked his victims with a shiv with the assistance of other inmates. He also beat them while they were on the ground. In addition, Black attempted to rape Kate, only to be interrupted before he could even act.
