Description: In the series storyline, James Scott "Jim" Rockford had served time in California's San Quentin Prison in the 1960s due to a wrongful conviction. After five years, he was pardoned (not paroled, a distinction frequently mentioned in plot points). His work as a private investigator barely allows him to maintain his weathered mobile home (which doubles as his office) in a parking lot on a beach in Malibu, California.
