The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
The interrogation example may be covered under Engineered Public Confession.
Lotus-Eater Machine, if they don't know it's a prison. Gilded Cage if they do.
My name is Freezer and my anti-drug is porn.
Which makes me think of Virtual-Reality Interrogation.
Not sure what the request is about, if you have a specific example in mind about simply someone not knowing they're being interrogated then I don't think there's a trope for that.
The quote, though, is a clear example of exploiting the Bread and Circuses idea.
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
Thanks for the replies. For the prison example, I'm thinking of a combination of Lotus-Eater Machine and Gilded Cage, where the prisoner(s) doesn't know it's a prison and doesn't want to leave - yet they wouldn't be able to anyways. The main difference between this and Lotus Eater is that I'm not thinking of a dream world or a machine.

"The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison." - Fyodor Dostoevsky
This could also potentially apply to interrogation.
