* FauxAffablyEvil: The sheriff is pretty "aw shucks" in attitude, but he has no problem arresting an entire family and sentencing them to lifetime imprisonment and using them as slave labor with the same lassitude.
Added DiffLines:
* WardensAreEvil: Both the sheriff and his assistant take care of the Simpsons' sentence, and the assistant whips Homer for '''any''' reason he can find (such as saying any answer Homer gives is wrong -- when Homer actually asks about this, the man says Homer is ''forbidden of listening anything'') and use them as slave labor. Putting the ''whole family'' in lifetime imprisonment because of Homer's stupidity puts them here.
