* CompleteMonster: [[TheDreaded Milo Sunter]] is a [[TheMafiya Russian mobster]] who is sentenced to life in prison for killing two armed guards. Sunter also runs a prostitution ring, which he still controls behind bars by injecting his sex workers with tracking chips and having them beaten and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped]] on a daily basis. Iris is an example of Sunter's abuse, who he has stripped in front of him before selling her off to a white supremacist group to be gang-raped. Sunter also reveals to Mike [=McLusky=] a mass grave containing 26 people he killed to show off his monstrosity while also giving P-Dog's prison gang keys to the armory, resulting in the prisoners violently taking over the Kingstown Prison and 300 people being killed as Sunter subtly escapes. Searching for his millions worth of bonds before leaving Kingstown, Sunter has a naive worker [[ColdBloodedTorture tortured to death]] for unknowingly uncovering and giving them away before forcing Mike to retrieve them by threatening the lives of Iris and his mother, Miriam. This leads to a shoot-out resulting in several dead and Miriam getting shot, while Sunter lets his men kill Mike and Iris even after Sunter gets what he wanted.

** In the first episode, Alberto kills two very well-connected people to grab a large stash of cash for himself.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Alberto to run as far as he can as soon as he has the money.\\
'''Instead:''' He goes back home, where the local CorruptCops quickly find him.\\
'''As a Result:''' He's killed in a staged shooting.
** Multiple factions at the male prison agree to [[spoiler:murder an inmate over the accidental death of a child]] in exchange for some concessions from the guards, including better food and more time in the yard.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' The guards honor at least some parts of the deal and ease up a bit.\\
'''Instead:''' The guards get offended at the thought of conceding to inmate demands and crack down harder in an attempt to assert dominance.\\
'''As a Result:''' [[spoiler:The inmates riot and kill dozens of guards before the violence is quelled.]]
