*In one episode of ''BurnNotice'', Michael and co. capture a member of TheMafiya, and in order to get information out of him, Michael pretends to be a fellow captive.  In order to earn the man's trust, Michael picks a fight with him, accusing him of being a snitch.  Michael has to use a fighting style that someone with that background would know, and has to fight carefully- well enough to win, but not quite so violently that it's so clearly a fight to the death that the other guy is more likely to successfully kill him.  Michael wins, and the gangster takes a DefeatMeansFriendship attitude after that.

Also, another prison-related example:
*In an episode of ''ArrestedDevelopment'', [[AmbiguouslyGay Tobias]] gets permission to go undercover as a prisoner in order to get background for an acting role, and so he get the full experience, the film loving warden (played by JamesLipton) "thoughtfully" puts Tobias in a cell with a violent inmate known as White Power Bill who is sort of "in charge" of the place.  Things don't seem to be going well for the effiminate and wimply Tobias until he accidentally does a HannibalLecture on White Power Bill and drives him to suicide.  After that, Tobias becomes the head of a prison gang calling themselves [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_Of_Dorothy Friends of Dorothy]].
