    I was watching Prison Break on Fox

    Without more context, but considering what you are watching, it is probably the accepted abbreviation for "convict".

    As a noun, "con" means a prisoner or convict, as Anglika said. As a verb, "con" means to trick someone, to lie to them and get them to help you in some illegal activity.
