* Cody ~~from~~ ''[[Street Fighter]] Alpha 3'' has a tendency to leave his prison cell, pick fights with other fighters, then return to the cell. He also wears handcuffs that he can remove at any time~~. He's a bit hard to take seriously, even by his ''Final Fight'' compatriots~~.

* The introduction of ''[[Final Fight]]'' character Cody in ''[[Street Fighter Alpha 3]]'' has him living by this trope: he has a tendency to leave his prison cell, pick fights with other fighters, then return to the cell. He also wears handcuffs that he can remove at any time.

* In ''[[Breath of Fire]]'', you encounter Karn for the first time when you get thrown in jail. He's sleeping there. Bug him enough and he'll open the doors so you can escape... then go back to sleep.

* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'', Izoold has been damaged by several acts of arson. The man in jail for these crimes is {{spoiler|Regal Bryant, wearing his trademark shackles.}} After you clear his name, he is released from jail, whereupon he immediately breaks his shackles and suggests that Izoold use a stronger brand {{spoiler|(from the Lezareno company, natch).}}

** Regal did this in earlier in ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', using a [[Kamehameha Hadoken]] to destroy the prison cell he and the party were stuck in. He only did this once the party had exhausted all other options, and it took little effort on his behalf. {{spoiler|He refuses to use his hands to destroy anything, as he had to [[Mercy Kill]] the woman he loved with them.}}

* In ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'', Rinoa surrenders herself to be imprisoned and have her sorceress powers sealed in order to prevent the [[Big Bad]] from being able to possess her. [[Always Save the Girl|Then Squall breaks her back out anyway,]] but it was a nice thought.

* In ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]''. assuming the Warden does not try to fight Ser Cauthrien, she arrests the Warden (and Alistair, if he's in the part) and detains them in a prison cell. Should the player then take the option to attempt escape on their own, it proves almost laughably easy. However, the player can instead enact this Trope and wait for the other party members to attempt a jailbreak, in which case the player's control shifts to them - given how ''fun'' both options are, it's almost regrettable that you can't choose both
