* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: The filthy and creepy looking trustee-turnkey one night during an inspection of the Prison Hospital, rousts Maturette out of sleep and proceeds to put a flower in his mouth and then molests him while sporting a damn near creepy smile along with some horrid facial expressions and depraved sounding moans. Maturette is of course violated and shaken by the whole thing and Pappy (who witnessed the whole ordeal) is clearly sickened and in disbelief.
** The next night Turnkey makes a gesture to Maturette about after he’s done raping him [[GroinAttack he will casterate him and make him his sex slave.]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: France's entire penal system seems to hinge on this trope. The penal colony is terrible enough, but there are a number of other insanely cruel systems in place as well. The main one being: if the prisoners have sentences less than eight years and manage to serve them, they have to REMAIN in French Guiana as colonists and workers for a period that is equal to their original sentences and the ones who have sentences that exceeded eight years are forced to stay in Guiana for LIFE and will never see France again.
