* In ''[[Alvan an The Chipmunks 3 The Second Squeakuel]]'', villain Ian Hawk ([[Sexual Karma|who raped and tortured one of the Chipettes earlier in the story]]) ends up in prison and meets his cellmate: [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Big Bubba]], who asks him if he wants to be "the husband or the wife". Ian ends up spending the rest of his life as "Big Bubba's Bitch"... until ''[[Modurn Warfare 3: The Dead Rise|Modurn Warfare 3 The Dead Rise]]'', where Big Bubba decapitates and [[No Party Like a Donner Party|eats him]] after a [[Zombie Apocalypse]].

* In ''[[All You Need Is Love]]'' it is [[Noodle Incident|frequently implied]] [[Black Comedy Rape|that L did this to Light during his incarceration.]]

 

== Film ==

* The 1978 documentary ''Scared Straight!'' shows some youth offenders being talked to by long-term prisoners telling them how bad prison is, trying to scare them straight. One of the topics is prison rape.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Subtly referenced]] in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55gmAtakjJ4#t=1m30s the trailer] for ''[[Puss in Boots (animation)|Puss in Boots]]''.

 

== Literature ==

* Not exactly prison, but the orderlies at the [[One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest|Pendleton insane asylum]] love to give patients showers. They always check the patient's temperature at the same time they shower the patient, and they go down to [[Battleaxe Nurse|Miss Ratched]] beforehand to get a rectal thermometer and a bottle of Vaseline. She admonishes them to use the minimum amount of Vaseline necessary, but they take the whole bottle inside with them, and they turn up the water pressure till the noise [[Nightmare Fuel|makes it impossible to hear anything that's going on inside]]...

* Happened to Sean Miller in the book (but not the movie) version of ''[[Tom Clancy|Patriot Games]]''.

* [[Played for Laughs]] in ''[[Bridget Jones]]: The Edge of Reason'', where Bridget is imprisoned in Thailand for unwittingly smuggling drugs and is groped/molested by other women in her cell. She ends up having to bribe them to leave her alone by giving them her Wonderbra, but consoles herself by thinking she is safe because at least she still has underpants.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* A recurring skit on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' "Scared Straight" Keenan Thompson (often joined by the Host of the Week) talks to some teens about the dangers of going to prison, most of which involves prison rape.

* In the [[NBC]] made-for-tv movie [[Born Innocent]], Linda Blair plays a fourteen-year-old runaway who, while in a girl's detention center, is gang-raped in the shower with a plunger handle. On screen. In 1974.

 

== Music ==

* The [[Bloodhound Gang]]'s "I Hope You Die" describes how the subject of the song will hopefully go to prison for (accidental) vehicular homicide, and be put in the same cell as someone called Bowling Ball Bag Bob:

== New Media ==

* A simple story about getting a functioning [[Star Wars|lightsaber]] in the mail somehow leads to promises of brutal vengeance: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRINErZzyTA "I'm gonna make sure you guys get locked up in a *raping* jail!"]

* Featured in the disclaimer on certain kinds of [[Not Safe for Work|NSFW]] original fiction on the 'net: ''Anyone acting out such scenarios in "real life" can look forward to many unproductive years getting it up the butt by a fellow convict in their local prison.''

 

== Newspaper Comics ==

* Played with in ''[[Bloom County]]'', where Opus the penguin is sent to jail for a misinterpreted compliment, with one or more massive hungry prisoners regarding him with adoration...

 

* [[Chris Rock]] has a bit in ''Bigger and Blacker'' describing an HBO special about prison life. The interviewer is talking to a drug dealer who makes would-be purchasers "toss his salad." The interviewer asks why: "When a man's sucking your dick, he can pretend it's something else. If he's eatin' ass, he '''knows''' it's ass." This is not prison rape, obviously, but Rock makes a few follow-up jokes that do reference that.

* Yakov Smirnov: 'We have homosexual in Russia, but none of them gay. Punishment for homosexual in Soviet Russia is ten year locked up in prison with other men ... but there is five year waiting list'

'''Jeff''': Why not?

'''Peanut''' (''deep voice''): ''C'mere, puppet boy. Make yer daddy talk.'' }}

 

== Tabletop Games ==

 

== Theatre ==

* A [[Scary Black Man]] (who else) and the titular [[Anti-Hero]] of ''[[Edmond]]''.

** Another [[David Mamet]] play also makes reference to it: ''[[Speed-the-Plow]]'' features a movie pitch made by one of the characters for a prison-set action film that involves the threat of this. ''Also by a [[Scary Black Man]]''.

 

== Video Games ==

** Early when Sweet calls Carl, Sweet talks about other inmates attempting to "jump him."

* The would-have-been [[Gizmondo]] [[Killer App]] ''Colors'', a [[Wide Open Sandbox]] GTA-clone, presented prison rape as an option after the player gets arrested: To get out, the player can pay anywhere between $20,000 and $7,000, or just let the fat, bearded inmate sodomize him so that you'll be sent to the infirmary where he can escape.

* It's never explicitly mentioned in ''[[The Suffering]]'', although there was a minor [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] when an inmate tells Torque "You don't know what you're missing!" There was also another NPC who reveals that he's gay after you find the corpse of an inmate he was looking for, and there's a bloody bar of soap in the bathroom.

* In ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', if you wander into the Citadel bar Men's restroom, female ex-convict Jack will talk about a time she was jumped in the prison restroom and gang-raped. She hunted them down and killed them all afterwards.

* Pretty much the point of visual novel ''Toriko Hime'' (Prison Princess), where the main (female) characters are arrested for completely made up crimes and sentenced to serving as sex slaves for the male prisoners.

{{quote|'''Rick:''' Oh dear! I have dropped the soap, and shall have to bend far, far, over to pick it back up again!}}

* Not shown, but discussed in [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213155730/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/101 this] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213160335/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/103 this] ''[[Loserz]]'' strip.

* In [https://web.archive.org/web/20101212065811/http://www.ugmadness.net/index.php?date=2004-11-08 this strip] of the ''[[Magic: The Gathering|Magic the Gathering]]'' webcomic ''[[UG Madness]]'', Dominic ends up in jail and his cellmate makes him...play ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (Tabletop Game)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]''. Which, to the characters of the comic, is probably [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|just as bad as rape]].

* Kevin Lee of ''[[Sexy Losers]]'' in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130923014457/http://sexylosers.com/138.html this strip.] He is very gay and also a bit of a masochist so the other prisoners decide not to rape him after all.

* ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]'': Played for laughs in [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/02/01/episode-244-technical-jargon/ this] episode

* ''[[Questionable Content]]'': Marten is [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1187 too pretty to go to prison.]

*In ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', Thog states he's "too pretty for jail." Also the gem, "nale tell thog, don't drop soap."

* In ''[[Least I Could Do]]'' it was a running gag [http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20030404 here],[http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20030407 here], and [http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20030409 here]

* ''[[Ménage à 3]]'': When Gary is afraid that Yuki will turn him in for accidentally molesting her, he says to Dillon: "Just remember me fondly as I get butt-raped daily in jail."

 

== Web Original ==

* Raimi's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in ''[[Broken Saints]]'' Chapter 19, Act 3: he threatens [[Complete Monster]] Mars with sending fake child pornography to the FBI from Mars' e-mail account, saying he'll smile at thinking of what the prison boys are gonna do to that scumbag...

* The video ''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/77937 Big Gay Bubba]'', in which the titular Bubba sings about raping his fellow inmates.

* Nicely implied at the start of [[The Nostalgia Critic]]'s review of ''[[James and the Giant Peach]]''. He's just come out of jail for a below-average [[Let's Play]], his usual jacket and tie are missing, he can't look anyone in the eye, and every insult leaves him reacting like he's been slapped.

* In ''[[Brows Held High]]'', Oancitizen happily jokes about prison rape in several videos (such as his video for ''Pinocchio''), which is significant because [[Double Standard|he repeatedly voices his disdain for other rape jokes]] and other [[Dude, Not Funny]] subjects.

* Following Pharma Bro getting sentenced to prison, Dailysquat published this article [http://www.dailysquat.com/prison-commissary-increases-lube-price-5000-ahead-martin-shkrelis-arrival/]

 

* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''. When Spongebob tries to get Gary to take a bath he says that the soap is dubloons and tells him not to drop them

* An episode of ''[[Code Monkeys]]'' where the cast (including the girls) gets sent to prison. Source of the page image up there. Though no-one actually gets raped, despite taking bets on who will be violated first.

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]:'' Defied. A female guard catches Zuko (disguised as a male guard) loitering in the female prisoners' block, seemingly standing watch for a buddy. The female guard silently glances at [[Lady of War|Suki's]] cell before demanding Zuko let her check to see what was going on inside. Of particular note is that, in further defiance of expectations, the rape averse prison is run by ''the [[The Empire|bad guys]]''.

** Of course, if you jump to ''unfortunate conclusions'' from Azula's "favorite prisoner" line (also referring to Suki), ''well''.....Not even the most well-intentioned guards would question their princess.
