Line 127:
*** Given that the local prison Harvard rowing team asked him to join up for a match against Princeton, its likely that the place is a prison for "white collar" criminals like corrupt business men or, in Bob's case, a corrupt politician
** In another episode, when Kirk Van Houten was arrested, Chief Wiggum told him the cell he's going to wouldn't be so cold and damp as Van Houten's apartment. In fact, a normal prison cell felt like the trope for him.
* In ''[[Home Movies]]'', Brendon's class is taken on a field trip to a prison as part of a [[Scare'Em Straight]] program. However, they took them to a white collar prison, which the kids considered akin to this trope. Coach McGuirk even remarked that the cells were better than his apartment.
* [[Gargoyles|Xanatos]] himself had a private cell on Riker's Island to plot [[Evil Plan|his next scheme]]. It was no larger than an ordinary prison cell, but it was very nicely appointed, making it more cozy than confined.
Line 137 ⟶ 136:
** When Superman needed the Parasite's help to find a bomb, the Parasite was offered a TV inside his cell (with cable, including the premium channels) in exchange for his cooperation.
** In the episode "Where There's Smoke", Volcana was spared a regular prison and instead isolated on an island, where Superman brought her supplies (this was both for extenuating circumstances and for the protection of other inmates, given her powers); it seemed a tropical paradise, so long as she stayed put, but she clearly did not. She was later seen fighting Supergirl, and later sent to a high-security section of Stryker's Island Penitentiary.
** The Ultrahumanite has one of these in ''[[Justice League]]'', albeit it's relatively small. Gourmet food, classical music, TV, books, he has to be heavily bribed by Lex to even consider escaping. {{spoiler| And then he agrees to betray Lex and go back anyway in return for Batman doubling Luthor's price... in the form of a charitable "generous donation" to his favorite classical music television channel in the Humanite's name. [[Viewers Like You| The channel even thanks him for it on air]].}}
