** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0pHwjSQo8o "Can't Be a Rhyme to Kick a Dope Rhyme"]] has VideoGame/PaRappaTheRapper standing trial on drug and weapons charges, where Chop Chop Master Onion, serving as his lawyer, tells him to snitch on King Kong Mushi unless he wants to "shower with some butch bull queero."

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lhEEDkv3zk&pp=ygUUcm9ib3QgY2hpY2tlbiBib3AgaXQ%3D "Bop It... Or Else"]] has a "Bop It" inexplicably issuing a series of commands that end in assassinating a politician, then continue with the kid's testimony about who made him do it ([[JuryAndWitnessTampering "Zip it!"]]), and the Bop It toy in a jail cell with this clearly indicated to be forthcoming.

** "Bop It... Or Else" has a "Bop It" inexplicably issuing a series of commands that end in assassinating a politician, then continue with the kid's testimony about who made him do it ([[JuryAndWitnessTampering "Zip it!"]]), and the Bop It toy in a jail cell with this clearly indicated to be forthcoming ("Damn it!").

* ''Film/BoogieNights'' strongly implies this is prison life for The Colonel.

* Drives the plot of the prison drama ''Film/FortuneAndMensEyes''.

* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' The Monarch wakes up in prison to find that he was about to be raped by King Gorilla (an actual gay gorilla). However, King admits he couldn't go through with it; Monarch reminds him too much of a girl. To make the scene even more bizarre, Monarch then realizes that he's not even in his own cell. Apparently, King Gorilla has enough pull with the guards to bring his "dates" over to his place.

* When ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' 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 [[ReplacementGoldfish 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.

** Also, when ComicBook/BlackCat was finally arrested and sent to prison, it was not-too-subtly implied the other inmates had a "thing" for her.

--->"They'll take everything, your smokes, your clothes, your... pride. I haven't showered in months."

* In the original ''Film/RoboCop1987'', the villain Emil expresses his relief that nobody "popped" his "cherry" while he was in prison for a brief time.

** The German equivalent of the RIAA[[note]]who also falsely claim that pirating is a felony, when it is only a misdemeanor[[/note]] did a scare ad with two new arrivals being leered at by two older inmates, one of them commenting that his future bitch has the cuter ass. Yes, the German media industry believes that pirating music and films [[DisproportionateRetribution should be punishable]] [[MoralEventHorizon by rape]] ([[DudeNotFunny or, at least, makes extremely unfunny jokes about this kinda stuff]]). Let's just say the ads were not received favorably...

* A particularly depraved example is seen in the Harmsters in ''WebOriginal/HamstersParadise'', where the GrotesqueCute sapient hamster-descendants known as the [[MeaningfulName harmsters]] play off this trope to a dreadful degree. One advanced species, the tundra harmster, captures and enslaves two other harmster species, using them as breeding stock in an attempt to evolve themselves further, often drugging, lobotomizing or mutilating them to get them to comply. Eventually, the enslaved harmsters are selectively bred into the [[FormerlySapientSpecies non-sapient, animalistic Brutes]] that they use as hounds and oxen-- yet some still [[BestialityIsDepraved breed with them]], which causes one harmster faction known as the [[FrazettaMan Frazettas]] to devolve into monstrous, primal cannibals.

As with all [[SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes rape tropes]], [[Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease please refrain from listing real life examples.]] It is entirely sufficient to note that such things do occur.

** In "Star Trek", Roger references this, telling Steve:
--> Sorry, pal. You're going to jail, where they're gonna take your cherry... [[BaitAndSwitch Jell-O away]]...in the lunch line...[[DoubleSubversion after you're raped]]...in the shower.

--> '''Jack''': They'll break my rump in like a new baseball glove!
--> '''Stan''': ''Right'' in front of the kid, that's nice.

** Implied in the episode "The Boiling Rock", when Sokka, disguised as a guard, sneaks into his girlfriend Suki's cell and makes kissy faces at her... ''before'' removing his disguise. Appropriately, Suki knocks him on his butt. A female prison guard who stumbles upon [[spoiler:Zuko]] keeping guard also suspects that this is happening in Suki's cell and, to her credit, [[EvenEvilHasStandards isn't having any of it]]. In the same episode, the warden implies that this could happen to Zuko if the other prisoners find out his true identity as well.
** Azula's '''notorious''' "favourite prisoner" comment (which, it should be noted, was in reference to Suki). There is no possible way that the writers were unaware of the implications of ''that'', and the animators and voice actor went with it in the delivery.
** "Avatar Day" has Aang thrown in jail for a crime Avatar Kyoshi committed, under the InsaneTrollLogic that his past self did it, so he was somehow responsible. While Katara and Sokka go to clear his name, there's a shot of Aang in prison, where a group of huge, tough-looking convicts talk about how they think Aang's going to get along ''really'' well with them. Cue cut to a different scene. When the episode gets back to Aang, we see [[spoiler:that the convicts have, indeed, become friends with him and are kindly giving him relationship advice about his crush on Katara.]]

** In "A Date with the Health Inspector" and "A Date with the Booty Warrior", Tom winds up seeing the inside of a jail twice (in the former episode, he was wrongly detained and questioned by the police for a crime he didn't commit; and in the latter one, he was chaperoning several boys on a ScareEmStraight field trip to a local prison). And in both instances, he worries about the possibility of almost getting anally raped (the latter time was justified, because ''there really was'' a rapist who was out to get him). But thankfully, he comes out of both misadventures with his ass intact.
* ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' hinted at this trope at the end of the episode "[=CatDog=] Catcher". Rancid Rabbit ends up incarcerated after spending the episode jailing everyone in Nearburg for not owning a license for their species (all just so [[EvilIsPetty he'd have enough gold coins to bathe in]]). He has a burly cellmate standing behind him who grabs him from off-screen as the episode irises out.
* Played horrifyingly straight in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' where Cleveland is put in prison for a murder he didn't commit, and the rest of the episode revolves around Freight Train, Junior, and Rollo solving the murder (Freight Train moonlights as a detective novelist and plans to turn the mystery into a story). Cut to 14 months later at the book release party where Donna suddenly remembers that ''[[SomethingWeForgot they forgot to get Cleveland released!]]'' It then cuts to Cleveland, crying and putting on makeup in his jail cell while singing "What A Wonderful World" in a shaky, traumatized voice.
-->'''Cleveland:''' I'm never gonna be the same...
** In an earlier episode, Cleveland believes Holt had murdered [[MyBelovedSmother his overbearing mother]] (the "victim" that Holt kept referencing was actually a sex doll he was getting rid of), and contacts the police. When Cleveland is worried over what will happen to Holt, the chief says that "a short, lithe, fitness nut" like him will be very popular in prison.
--->'''Cleveland''': He gonna get tore up.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'' had Gandhi being accidentally incarcerated. He was very nervous about prison rape, especially because the other inmates kept ominously referring to the shower. When they finally cornered him for his 'initiation', it was completely innocent, of the 'three cheers' variety. They then listened, sympathetically, as he discussed his grief over the [[TonightSomeoneDies death]] of [[LongLostUncleAesop Ponce de Leon]]. It was hilarious. When this is [[TheReveal revealed]], one inmate says "Damn, boy! What'd you think we were going to do? Make LOVE to you?" And then they all laugh, except for one guy who just keeps creepily staring at Gandhi...

* ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic''. After having a meltdown on the set of his show while reviewing the atrocious ''Ghost Chasers 3'', which included indecent exposure and telling L.A. street gangs to go murder the studio executives, Jay is sent to jail for 30 days, where it's implied this happens to him with his burly cellmate. It's then subverted when it turns out the prisoner is the most considerate relationship Jay's ever had (it's never revealed whether or not the prisoner actually raped him).

* ''WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids'': Implied as common during the ScareEmStraight tour of a prison in the 1984 episode "Busted." (Many of the inmates at the prison make graphic comments about wanting to get it on with the Fat Albert gang.) One shot actually showed a closeup of a cell with a big inmate gloating over a despairing tearful smaller inmate.

** Parodied in the season 2 finale when the three main characters end up in jail for armed robbery (they didn't do it, but confess anyway in the hopes of attracting women). After being transferred from juvie to regular prison, rape becomes a serious concern, and each character finds some way of fitting in; most notably, Jamal discovers that the gay clique in the prison AREN'T gay, none of them are, they just act that way because if someone WANTS gay sex, it's no challenge for the rapists. Jamal immediately joins their side and starts acting as CampGay as possible.

'''Jamal:''' Me! Dicks dicks dicks dicks!!\\

* In the 90's ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "Carrotblanca", at the end Yosemite Sam is thrown in jail and a dopey-looking prisoner suddenly gains a pair of eyelashes and smiles at him in a lustful way and Sam yells for help.

* ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'', of all things, referenced this in the short "Earth to Obie", where Obie's imagination sequence of being in jail for his cereal addiction at one point has an inmate heard calling Obie "sweet cheeks" and making kissy sounds.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' has this implied to happen to Mojo more than once;
** He is looked at by an inmate with a creepy smile (implied sexually, although this is more a kind of double meaning) by the ending of "Cootie Gras". Not to mention the Narrator commenting, "Love is in the air, can you just smell it?"
** A similar scene happens to him in "Monkey See Doggy Two", only as Mojo is turned into a dog and sent to the pound, with another dog.
** In the 10th anniversary/final episode special "Powerpuff Girls Rule!" had one last shout-out to this running gag, as a fellow prisoner embraces Mojo much to Mojo's dismay.

** {{Double Subver|sion}}ted in the episode "Meeseeks and Destroy". When Rick and Morty are being tried in giant court on murder charges, Rick mentioned that if somebody dropped the soap in giant prison that it'd land on their heads and crush their spines, and that it would be real easy to rape them after that.
** "You know what they do to third-dimensional lifeforms in Time Prison? Same thing they do in regular prison, only forever!"

** "Bop It. . . Or Else" has a "Bop It" inexplicably issuing a series of commands that end in assassinating a politician, then continue with the kid's testimony about who made him do it ([[JuryAndWitnessTampering "Zip it!"]]), and the Bop It toy in a jail cell with this clearly indicated to be forthcoming. ("Damn it!")
* On ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', Rocko's car is placed in impound. Rocko's car calls Rocko from the impound. Another car comes up behind Rocko's car. It then cuts to Rocko who hears prison rape noises (or at least, car suspension bouncing) over the phone. Then when Rocko goes down to bail out his car, the guard mentions that the other vehicles call him "Fancy Fenders."

** Implied at the end of "Patrick! The Game" to soon happen to Squidward when he's put in the back of a police truck with a burly prisoner.

A trope in which it is stated, shown, or implied that detainees may be sexually assaulted while in prison (usually by fellow prisoners but sometimes by their captors).[[note]]It should be noted that changing attitudes about the treatment of prisoners has made this trope far less common in real life than is often portrayed, at least among Western countries. In particular, the United States (which has a special reputation for rough prisons) now has the ''very'' strict PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) laws, which both forces prisons to minimize opportunities for sexual assault and harshly punishes prison rape, which now almost automatically incurs a life sentence. Of course, enforcement of this varies by region, but coerced sex is no longer the institution it once was in US prisons.[[/note]] It is used in a number of ways:

* One of many reasons why Richard and Justin (particularly Justin) don't want to get caught in ''Film/MurderByNumbers''. [[spoiler:Particularly disturbing when the CruelTwistEnding ''does'' implicitly result in Justin going to prison, ''alone'' and without his [[HoYay more domineering best friend]] there for support. FridgeLogic renders this even more unpleasant, as Justin's actor is the baby-faced and somewhat short Michael Pitt.]]

** In the story arc ''Hard Time'', John is incarcerated in an ''Series/{{Oz}}''-like prison in the DeepSouth where he is sexually menaced by a ScaryBlackMan named Traylor. John later magically causes a rioting mob of prisoners to see Traylor as a Hot Black Chick and gang-bang him (John's a NinetiesAntiHero; he doesn't have to be nice).

* The idea is referenced in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E17BrianWallowsAndPetersSwallows Brian Wallows And Peters Swallows]]", as the bitter old lady Brian is sentenced to care for threatens to have him taken to jail, stating that he's 'one phone call away from getting a human booster shot from a guy named Molly'.

* In ''[[LightNovel/{{Baccano}} Alice In Jails]]'', [[JerkAss Victor]] "comforts" Firo about going to Alcatraz with the knowledge that, what with looking so [[OlderThanTheyLook young]] and [[DudeLooksLikeALady feminine]], he'll probably be quite popular there.
