ABC Buys Jailhouse Lawyer Drama ‘Turner Loose’

Drama comes from “Numb3rs,” “Law & Order” executive producer Barry Schindel

ABC Studios has sold the drama "Turner Loose," from "Numb3rs" executive producer Barry Schindel, to ABC.

The pilot, which Schindel wrote and executive produced, is about a Bobby Turner, a disgraced Wall Street banker turned jailhouse lawyer. He's said to be a graduate of the "bar behind bars." Turner can get plenty of other inmates out of prison, but can't win his own freedom — until he gets a chance to work with the female prosecutor who put him away.

Schindel has also worked as an executive producer of "Castle" and "Law & Order."
