Ed,
My vote:
1st. Number 6
2nd. Jim Rockford
3rd. Colonel Hogan
4th. Dr. Richard Kimball
For your consideration:
Bonnie (Allison Janney) in Mom (2013)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2660806/mediaviewer/rm1864115200

Bonnie was jailed for repeated drug related offenses prior to the timeline of the series.
Captain Christopher Pike (Jeffrey Hunter) in Star Trek: The Original Series (TV Series) The Cage (1966)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059753/mediaviewer/rm4220046848

Capt. Pike is held prisoner and tested by aliens who have the power to project incredibly lifelike illusions.
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Chain of Command, Part II
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708687/mediaviewer/rm3977989376

While the humorless Captain Jellico leads the effort to prevent a Cardassian invasion, Picard is captured and tortured by a ruthless interrogator in an attempt to break him.
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard / Locutus of Borg (Patrick Stewart) in Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Best of Both Worlds, The Best of Both Worlds: Part II
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708786/mediaviewer/rm1781058560

Having absorbed Captain Picard and his knowledge, the Borg head for Earth, leaving Riker and the Enterprise desperate for an unanticipated way to defeat them.

Beware of Balloons that Bump








Ed Jones(XLIX)
Thinking of a new poll based the premise of the last 3
Think I'll title it Captive Characters on Sci-Fi TV.
Might be an all Star Trek poll.
Zephram Cochran on Star Trek T.O.S. for one.
I can think of a couple of dozen easy!!!

Alexander Mundy on "It Takes a Thief"

Yes, Alexander Mundy in "It Takes a Thief" would make my top 5. I watched the majority of the episodes of "It Takes a Thief".
