The idea that rape is common in prison. It is used in a number of ways:

== Anime and Manga ==
* Occurs frequently in the yaoi manga ''[[Manga/Under Grand Hotel|Under Grand Hotel]]'' usually to [[The Woobie|poor]] [[Butt Monkey|Sen]].
* In ''[[Rainbow Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin]]'', the prison doctor Sasaki is a [[Complete Monster]] that engages in this quite often, and will even scheme with the warden to kill off anyone who manages to find out.
Line 32 ⟶ 41:
* In ''[[Devil May Cry: The Animated Series]]'' it's strongly hinted that [[Depraved Homosexual|the warden of Devil's Prison]] gets up to this with the inmates. He also makes sexual advances on Dante who puts him in his place.
* In ''[[Legend of the Blue Wolves]]'' [[Depraved Homosexual|Captain Continental]] ties Jonathan up like a prisoner and rapes him.
== Comic Books ==
Line 43 ⟶ 51:
* When ''[[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]]'' ally Joe "Robbie" Robertson gets jailed by the machinations of Tombstone, the hulking inmate Bruiser decides that Robbie will become his "very close friend". In an immediate backpedal/AuthorsSavingThrow, it's quickly revealed/retconned that Bruiser has only platonic friendship in mind since Robbie [[Replacement Goldfish|reminds him of his brother]], along with hasty denials in the letter column. But that's not what was VERY clearly implied in the original scene.
** Spidey villain, third rank villain mind, Tombstone was being pestered by Kangaroo in prison. Tombstone set it up so that Kangaroo got stuck in a wall chasing him. With three big burly inmates show up and ... yeah.
* ''[[The Punisher]]'' had a ''Christmas Special'' backup where the perp he's chasing has vowed not to go back to prison due to his prior experiences there. Since the Punisher has promised not to kill on Christmas (that year), he drugs the guy and turns him over to the cops, saying "Learn to sleep with one eye open". The Punisher does this ''while dressed as Santa Claus'', just to make it even more disturbing.
** In ''[[The Punisher
* Gina experiences the rare [[Distaff Counterpart]] in ''[[Gold Digger (Comic Book)|Gold Digger]]'', complete with soap-dropping. [[Genre Savvy|She remembers not to bend over to pick it up]], but [[Wrong Genre Savvy|kneeling in a women's prison isn't much better]].
* The "Don't drop the soap" gag was used in the mini-series ''[[Batman|Arkham Asylum: Living Hell]]'', where recently incarcerated [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] Warren White finds [[The Joker]] in the same shower area as him. The panicked Warren indeed drops the soap... only for The Joker to politely hand it back to him and [[Even Evil Has Standards|chew him out verbally for using stock frauds to take other people's kids' college funds]].
** It's later implied he becomes Two-Face's prison bitch, although they only show him flipping his coin for him while he recovers from a hand injury. Disturbingly, becoming the bitch of a member of Batman's [[Rogues Gallery]] for protection is actually suggested to him ''by a member of the infirmary staff'', who euphemistically refers to it as a "Super Villain Team-Up".
* Killer Moth was apparently the laughing stock in prison for being apprehended by [[Batgirl]], and implies this happened to him as a result
** Or at least that's what somebody claiming to be him says.

And 'That's enough being friends' as the cameraman pulls away while a bearded prisoner puts an arm around him.
* Many fans of ''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]'' assume main character Harry Lockhart was raped in prison. In fic it is sometimes this that keeps Harry/Perry from happening.
* A ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' fanfic called ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4552703/1/Diary_of_a_Snow_Leopard_Chor_Gom_Prison
* In ''[[Jak II Renegade]]'', it's assumed that Erol raped Jak during the two year [[Time Skip]] in the opening cutscene to the point of being Fanon. As though two years of torture and experimentation made explicit in the video game itself wasn't enough?
* Becoming more common, especially in the output of the [[Kink Meme]], for ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]] XI''. Sometimes played for kink, sometimes played for serious drama. There's a handful that have it happening to resident [[Break the Cutie|Cutie]] Chekov, generally by Nero and company.
Line 69 ⟶ 67:
* ''[[Nobody Dies]]'' gives Iruel, the Computer Virus Angel, much more screen time and is [[Ascended Extra|Promoted to Complete Monster]]. Instead of being deleted, he gets locked into Magi-00, {{spoiler|which is where the Ree live}}. More specifically, he's locked into a computer program. The name of said program? "Prison Shower." All of the fans on the message board agreed that it was fitting.
** ''Hee~eey.''
*
* In ''[[All You Need Is Love]]'' it is [[Noodle Incident|frequently implied]] [[Black Comedy Rape|that L did this to Light during his incarceration.]]
* ''[[None Piece]]'': "Luffy can't go back to prison, his butthole can't take that kind of abuse!"▼
* ''[[Dragonball Z Abridged]]'' has [[Psychopathic Manchild|Nappa]] claim that this happened to Vegeta.▼
{{quote|'''Nappa:''' I'm Nappa. And this is Vegeta. He was a prison--▼
'''Vegeta:''' Shut the hell up, Nappa!▼
'''Nappa:''' ...BITCH.▼
'''Vegeta:''' Goddamn it, Nappa! }}▼
** Which is referring to the incident on Planet Arlia. Vegeta and Nappa were thrown into prison, and one of their fellow inmates started talking about how he was going to "violate Vegeta and sell him for a cigarette". [[Stuff Blowing Up|Vegeta would have none of that.]]▼
* Subverted in ''[[Mega Man Dies at the End]]'', when {{spoiler|Dr. Wily}} begs not to be taken back to prison because of the things that go on in the showers... namely, the soap there dehydrates his skin. [[Double Subversion|Double subverted]] when he mentions being raped immediately afterwards.▼
== Film ==
Line 142 ⟶ 147:
* 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]]''.
{{quote|'''Humpty Alexander Dumpty:''' You got any idea what they do to eggs in prison? I'll tell you this. It ain't [[
== Literature ==
Line 160 ⟶ 164:
* 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]]''.
* A rather dark joke (of the "blink and you'll miss it" variety) in the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel ''[[
* [[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 ==
Line 228 ⟶ 231:
** When Omar is {{spoiler|framed for a murder}} and briefly incarcerated in season four, he comes under immediate attack from most of the other inmates on the basis of having robbed many of them before, being homosexual, and having a five-figure bounty on his head. When one of them tries to stab him, he manages to disarm him and, before returning the favor, [["Take That!" Kiss|kisses his ear]] and tells him, "It's a shame we didn't have more time together; we could have made us a couple of babies." Apart from serving to terrify the man, this is possibly a call-back to season one, where Stinkum reports that when Bird jailed with Omar, he had a "whole stable of boys" at his beck and call.
* A rare female example in ''[[Weeds]]'', when an imprisoned Celia complains that her cellmate wants her to be her "special friend."
*
* In one episode of ''[[Frasier]]'', Niles declares that his bone structure is too fine for him to go to prison.
** In another, upon finding out that the boy who bullied him as a child ("He used to call me "Shorts In The Shower" boy!") is in prison, Niles smugly sips his coffee and queries, "Well, who's wearing shorts in the shower now?"
Line 245 ⟶ 248:
* 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 ==
Line 279 ⟶ 281:
* 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:
{{quote|What happens next is all a blur / But you remember that "fist" can be a verb.}}
== New Media ==
Line 288 ⟶ 289:
* 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...
== [[Recorded and Stand Up Comedy]] ==
* [[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'
Line 302 ⟶ 301:
'''Jeff''': Why not?
'''Peanut''' (''deep voice''): ''C'mere, puppet boy. Make yer daddy talk.'' }}
== Tabletop Games ==
* A recent{{when}} editorial in the Los Angeles Times criticizing the use of [[Black Comedy Rape]] (particularly Prison Rape) mentioned a board game called "Don't Drop the Soap!" in which the players are prisoners, and one who bends over to pick up dropped soap is at risk of getting raped.
== 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 ==
Line 333 ⟶ 329:
** 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.
* There are rumors that a GTA-style Judge Mathis game is in production where the player will get to experience the joy of prison rape. See [https://web.archive.org/web/20170601141003/http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/694665/Judge-Mathis-Making-Game-Featuring-Prison-Rape.html this page].
* 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.
Line 345 ⟶ 341:
* 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.
== Web Animation ==
* [[Played For Laughs]] in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iql76IKT59Q&list=RDCMUCg4tuyRcwZeTfK650jPrkHQ&start_radio=1&t=1s this short] where [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Twilight Sparkle]] becomes a "prison wife" after simply offering to share with another inmate.
== Web Comics ==
* In ''[[Umlaut House]]'' once displayed the reason Rick was [https://web.archive.org/web/20131020154337/http://maskedretriever.com/uh/d/20040102.html paroled. Forcibly.]

Which, to the characters of the comic, is probably [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|just as bad as rape]].
* Kevin Lee of ''[[Sexy Losers]]'' in [
* Karishma in a female example in [

Line 361 ⟶ 359:
*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."

▲* [[None Piece]] "Luffy can't go back to prison, his butthole can't take that kind of abuse!"
* 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...
▲* ''[[Dragonball Z Abridged]]'' has [[Psychopathic Manchild|Nappa]] claim that this happened to Vegeta.

* 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.
▲* Subverted in ''[[Mega Man Dies at the End]]'', when {{spoiler|Dr. Wily}} begs not to be taken back to prison because of the things that go on in the showers... namely, the soap there dehydrates his skin. [[Double Subversion|Double subverted]] when he mentions being raped immediately afterwards.
* 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/]

* 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.
