== Fanfic ==
* 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]]'' [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4552703/1/Diary_of_a_Snow_Leopard_Chor_Gom_Prison FanFic] has this happen to {{spoiler|Tai Lung while he was in Chorh-Gom. Considering Vachir was voiced by [[Scary Black Man|Michael Clarke Duncan]], [[Unfortunate Implications|with all that implies]], it was a rather disappointing development}}. The fact this implies homosexuality on the part of the rapists, and that it isn't clear which part (the act, or their orientation) is being disapproved of by the other characters, mars an otherwise excellent story . The author later clarified her disapproval of ''rape'', not homosexuality. (As well she might, since she is also the author of quite a few [[Slash Fic
* 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 151:
* A particularly nasty version of prison rape plays a significant part in the brilliant and repulsive short story ''I Am Infinite, I Contain Multitudes'', by Douglas Clegg.
* In the [[Dale Brown]] novel ''Storming Heaven'' the male terrorist villain Henri Cazaux was arrested by U.S. soldiers on a base in Belgium as a teenager and repeatedly raped by them over two days. Needless to say, this provides him with plenty of motivation to hate the United States and also decide he will never be caught alive.
* The most horrifying instance of rape in the ''[[Outlander (novel)|Outlander]]'' series (occurring in the first book, nonetheless, set in the mid-18th century) takes place in prison but is not precisely prison rape, more of a version of [[The Scarpia Ultimatum]] where both parties are male. Claire, the female love interest (from the
** Oh yeah, and said villain is distantly related to - and looks exactly like - Clare's first husband.
* ''[[A Clockwork Orange (novel)|A Clockwork Orange]]'' has a few references to
* In the earlier chapters of ''A Prisoner Of Birth'', set in, well, prison, gang rape is referenced as the usual fate for gay prisoners... usually followed by being ripped limb from limb. One gay character we meet is only spared from this because good barbers are difficult to come by. {{spoiler|And one of the guys the main character gets his revenge on for falsely incriminating him -- a slightly [[Camp Gay]] soap opera actor -- implicitly has prison rape to look forward to as part of his karmic comeuppance.}}
* Used by [[Mercedes Lackey]] in one of her ''Burning Wheels'' titles, where the stepfather had spent years abusing his stepdaughter, giving her multiple personality syndrome as a defense mechanism. Once the elves caught him, he was placed in an extra-dimensional space, with something large which began using the same lines he'd used, just before the scene cut away.
Line 177:
*** You forgot this: "Oh, no! I killed a hippy. I'll go to prison, and be raped in the shower by Mr Big, who's in with the wardens."
* Averted in ''[[Porridge]]'', where, while sexual tensions and possible assaults are touched upon, they are not dwelt upon, and the main homosexual character, Lukewarm, is a harmless [[Pet Homosexual]].
**
* In the third season of ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', George Bluth complains about being under house arrest with his wife (after having spent most of the first two seasons incarcerated):
{{quote|"In prison I just had to lie there and take it. Here, I have to lie there and ''give'' it."}}
Line 191:
* The penultimate episode in Series 2 of ''[[Life On Mars]]'' has DCI Gene Hunt, now a murder suspect, complain to Sam Tyler, his DI, "You're not the one who's going to have to knit himself a new arsehole after 25 years of aggressive male affection in prison showers!"
* ''Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere'' had the pair going to prison and Paddy constantly worried about getting "bummed" while saying that Max has nothing to worry about. Despite Paddy's previous... encounter during an earlier episode, nothing of the sort happens, but in their attempts to seem like tough guys to make people keep their hands off them they attack the flamboyant Pepe, "girlfriend" of Raymond the Bastard who essentially owns that wing of the prison. It is largely implied that if Max and Paddy do not agree to Raymond's terms, rape shall be their punishment. Luckily the pair are bailed out before it comes to that.
* In an episode of ''[[Without a Trace]]'', Jack Malone essentially threatens a crippled boy with being sent to prison and resultant
* In ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', the cast is sent to prison, largely because of the backstabbing of Rimmer. In the first non-flashback set in the prison, Lister dumps a vial of the "sexual magnetism virus" on Rimmer, and the episode ends as [[Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)|all the inmates start groping him]].
** At the start of the ''Back In the Red'' saga, Rimmer shows his [[Genre Savvy]] credentials on his re-introduction.
{{quote|'''Lister:''' (ref. to his sentence) Two years without sex...
'''Rimmer:''' You hope. }}
* ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' is truly all over the place with rape; one of the running gags in the ''first season'', when one of the [[Arc
* A famous scene from ''[[Firefly]]'' involves a corrupt Alliance cop intimidating one of Mal's friends into betraying him using graphic threats of prison rape.
* This happens to Chato in the NBC miniseries ''Kingpin''. Unusually, he's actually raped by the ''guards''.
Line 208:
** There was one episode of ''SVU'' where they had a teen suspect. Currently in the precinct's holding cell was a man arrested for molesting boys who was only too happy to play along with Stabler when he threatened the boy with leaving the two of them alone together, even though they would have been in full view of other officers.
* ''[[General Hospital]]'' once had young Micheal Corinthos reveal he was raped when he was in prison temporarily. The show treated it very seriously in a similar manner to the way it previously handled the traumatic rape of female characters like Liz Webber. The storyline was lauded by several critics as powerful particularly since Micheal was a [[Tangled Family Tree|legacy]] [[Big Screwed-Up Family|character]] the shows fans had watched grow up.
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' only alluded to it in "Folsom Prison Blues"
* Shown in the British series ''The Governor''. Like ''[[Oz]]'', it is realistically portrayed and very disturbing.
* In ''[[Prison Break]]'' this is what happens to Tweener. Captain Bellick threatens to rape him if he doesn't snitch on Michael. Tweener's snitching proves fruitless, so Bellick puts him in a cell with the sex criminal Avocado who immediately rapes him.
Line 242:
** Katrina's last words (apart from "get off me!") in 'Dead Things' are "I'm gonna make sure you get locked up for this, then we'll see how ''you'' like getting raped!".
* Threatened on ''[[Las Vegas]]'' to the point of it being a [[Running Gag]].
* ''[[Wiseguy]]''. A woman asks Vinnie how he survived 18 months in a federal
* 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.
Line 252:
** The Singer says in the end that he can't really find it in himself to fell sorry for him after what he did.
*** For Bonus points the Music Video has Ron Jeremy as the prison rapist.
* ''[[The Bob and Tom Show]]'' song "Prison Bitch", quoted on the top of the page, which is rendered hideously funny by its spot-on mimicry of a doo-wop love
*** Tom also has an annoying habit (among many) of working a prison sodomy crack into nearly every crime news story.
* [[My Chemical Romance]] have a song called "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison." It's pretty self-explanatory.
Line 305:
== Tabletop Games ==
* A recent editorial in the Los Angeles Times criticizing the use of [[Black Comedy Rape]] (particularly
Line 404:
* This was frequently implied to happen to the title character's father on the Canadian cartoon ''[[Kevin Spencer]]'' during his frequent trips to the slammer.
* Despite its setting and [[Cast Full of Gay]], ''[[Superjail]]'' doesn't invoke this as often as you'd think it would. In fact, two gay inmates are among the few recurring prisoners - and their sex is nothing if not consensual. However this is an off screen mention by one of them asking, "how do you not watch a shower rape?"
* Not technically
* This is heavily implied to happen to Fox at the end of "The Terrible Trio" in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]''.
* Implied to have happened to Doctor Rockso in ''[[Metalocalypse]]'': a guard finds him shaking and huddling in his cellmate's sleeping arms.
Line 411:
* ''[[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.
* [http://robotchicken.wikia.com/wiki/Barney_Love_(Part_3) Frequent] [http://robotchicken.wikia.com/wiki/Prison_Headache topic
* ''[[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.
