Sam Pritchett is a convicted criminal who appears in the Season Ten episode of Criminal Minds, "Lockdown" as a suspect in a series of killings.
Background[]
No specific information was revealed about Pritchett, including how he became an inmate at the Reagan Federal Penitentiary. He was one of many inmates forced by Dale Shavers and his gang into fighting for them. He befriended a new inmate named Devon White, who helped smuggle him books from the library after prison guards took his previous books away. When White was accidentally killed by Patrick Butler during a fight set up by Shavers, Sam was forced by Randall Jefferson Jones, another inmate assisting Shavers, to remain silent about the whole thing.
Lockdown[]
Pritchett was one of several inmates interrogated by the BAU when they investigated White's strange disappearance. He tells Rossi of how he befriended White, but refuses to answer his questions about any involvement. Later on, Pritchett is approached by Rossi, who tells him the books taken by the prison guards were recovered downstairs. He gives them to him in a box, and Pritchett thanks him. Rossi tells him to "take care of [him]self" before leaving.
