i really liked this episode a lot being that it brings house to a new scenery and new obstacles and in this episode its an entirely new cast
in the season premiere of house season 8 house is sentenced to jail for crashing a car into his ex-girlfriends house ( Dr Lisa Cuddy ) he is tolled that if he behaves for five days they would let him go . as soon as i saw him agree to that i thought to myself i think i know house well enough to know that he wont behave himself .
house on prison labor notices at the nursing department a patient who seems to have lupus according to houses revelations but is that really the case ??? and on the other hand house has to deal with prisoners that threaten to beat him if before he leaves he doesn't come up with 20 pain killer pills . watch this episode to see how houses deals with this patient in jail and how he does in fact get himself into trouble .
10/10 for all the times house outsmarted other prisoners watch this episode it especially interesting to watch being that its not a hospital but rather in a prison .

House is in prison for his actions at the end of Season 8. Considering he has been in for a short time, he is in quite the prison population. Of course, there is a guy who runs the place and House has to deal with him.
Mysteries still consume him, especially a guy who is misdiagnosed and in a fight for his life. House has to stay clean for five days and we are alongside him during that time. He becomes allis with an attractive young female nurse. The title refers to a fee he must pay to an evil man who has great control for some reason.
In the end, his instincts take over and can't help but do the right thing, even if it has dire consequences.

House jumped the shark with this silly prison episode. Anyone who has followed House knows that without his mega-doses of Vicodin, he would be insulting the hell out of everyone, and would have gotten killed during his first week in prison.
House is down to 4 Vicodin a day in prison, which is what he takes every couple of hours when he was a wealthy doctor. At some point he is trying to get more Vicodin in jail, and he tells Urkel that he cannot get any money. That is insane, since Dr. Cuddy and Dr. Wilson did not sue him, and he should have access to all of his own funds in order to put money in his prison commissary account.
It just gets even more ridiculous that House spends about a year in prison due to driving his car into Cuddy's house. The whole story from beginning to end, and his interactions with everyone, are just funny and off-the-rails. House jumped the shark with this episode. I guess they knew it was their last season, so they turned it into a cartoon.
