Line 15:
* A similar situation happens in the [[Achille Talon]] album ''Viva Papa!''. To escape from a prison cell while tied up, Talon has sidekick Lefuneste gnaws on their bonds. Except, as they finds out, the rope is made of Tapasambalian hemp, a dangerous psychotropic plant. Thus Lefuneste has to be kept tied during the escape. Later, the bad guys capture them again and, seeing one of them still in ropes, conclude that he's no longer their friend and have him freed—and Lefuneste goes berserk on them.

* ''[[Astral Journey: It's Complicated]]'' had [[Spice Girls| Emma, Melanie, and Victoria]] all in this. For Emma and Victoria, it was due to be being standard practice as they were being transported to the hospital for safety reasons. Considering Emma was already badly injured from the pitch, it was also used to keep her body stable, which is one of safest things to do.
**In Melanie's case, of course, she got hurt during her ''second'' attempt at escaping after being sectioned and a wheelchair is included.
== Films -- Live-Action ==
Line 21 ⟶ 24:
* ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'': the other guys tie up Jeff Portnoy when he starts to freak out over not having any "jelly beans."
* ''[[Young Frankenstein]]'': Dr. Frankenstein locks himself in the dungeon with his creation and tells Igor, Inga and Frau Blücher (insert horse whinny) not to let him out no matter how much he begs. Five seconds later, he bangs on the door and asks to be let out with no avail.
* ''[[The Exorcist]]'', Reagan is strapped to her bed during her exorcism.

Line 75 ⟶ 78:
'''Roy:''' I'm going to choose to attribute that comment to stress and not hold it against you in the future. }}
* In ''Sodality'', Lex Philippine learns of the latest plot by the Icy Finger to take over key positions in Toklisana's government and become [[Big Brother Is Watching|Big Brother]]. He also notes that they have several sympathizers working as prosecuting attorneys, and that the Sodality is at great risk. While those in the Sodality who can flee do so in order to defeat the Icy Finger, Sodality members that cannot flee so easily are encouraged to find meeting points with SCALLOP agents and be arrested as quietly as possible, taken to SCALLOP prisons so they will be shielded from their political enemies and able to continue their operations from behind safe walls. Those without serious criminal records either face trumped-up charges or else are encouraged to do petty things to stage that they are in more trouble than they really are. The plan works, and most of the captured heroes play along with their "sentences" confident that the guards are secretly on their side. Since most of those in "Team Caged Dove" are the women, this leads to a (considerably downplayed) [[Girls Behind Bars]] situation.

Line 88 ⟶ 92:
* In the United States, a person can be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital on the grounds of likelihood of harm to themselves or others or grave disability, defined as inability to provide for one's own needs as a result of their mental disorder. Even when a patient voluntarily commits themselves, the environment in a mental institution is such that patients are unable to escape or harm themselves, with the purported goal of helping them get better.
* Suicide watch in any form, which is basically restricting the watchee, if not outright confining them, so that he or she can't kill themselves. Of course, when this is done with death row prisoners, this veers more into [[Cruel Mercy]] territory.
* This is often common to strap patient to a stretcher when being transported by ambulance for a similar reason as seat belts are for cars. Considering the patient is in a moving vehicle, it's done for safety reasons.
