* ''Roleplay/TheMurderFreeHotel'': "Gay baby jail" is a PocketDimension full of weighted blankets where the Host can send anyone if they're causing too much trouble. Stew was sent there for a time after [[spoiler:attempting suicide over being apparently upstaged by Pamela]], and the Spy was sent afterwards for criticizing the Host's decision to do this. Much later, after [[spoiler:Vivi gets the pink smoke]], she also sends Hydroxyl there, after it's evident that many of the Hotel's residents cannot live peacefully with him around.

* In ''Anime/YuGiOh'', the Shadow Realm is often used this way when a duelist loses against an evil Millennium Item wielder. Similar are the cards that Pegasus uses to imprison the souls of Seto and Mokuba Kaiba.

* Several in ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'':
** Zendikar didn't start out as one, and indeed it mostly isn't, since its denizens are capable of living their lives (as much as you can in a DeathWorld, at least), and planeswalkers can come and go as they please. However, centuries before the current day of the story, three powerful planeswalkers manipulated the plane's leylines in order to [[spoiler:imprisoned the immensely powerful [[EldritchAbomination Eldrazi]] here. They are freed by accident by Nissa Revane]].
** Ixalan is one for planeswalkers. The presence of an immensely powerful artifact known as the Golden Sun (made by one of the same planeswalkers that imprisoned [[spoiler:the Eldrazi]]) prevents planeswalking out of the plane. Planeswalkers who end up here by accident are stuck, and native planeswalkers can barely get a glimpse of the blind eternities before being pulled back.
** Bolas' Meditation Realm becomes one at the end of ''War of the Spark''. Originally a plane for Bolas to meditate and consider his planes, [[spoiler:it is hijacked by Ugin, its original creator, and used to imprison a severely weakened and crippled Nicol Bolas]].

* Marvel's ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' event revealed that Iron Man's pro-registration faction had a prison built in the Negative Zone to house those who refused to go along with the [[SuperRegistrationAct Superhuman Registration Act]]. When Franchise/SpiderMan discovered this, he promptly [[DefectorFromDecadence defects to Captain America's side]]. Predictably to any readers familiar with [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the history of the Negative Zone]], in post-Civil War stories this choice of location backfires badly when the xenophobic Negative Zone natives discover the prison.
** Oh, it gets better. If the threat of Blastaar or Annihilus showing up isn't bad enough, simply being in the Negative Zone has mind-altering effects on those who stay too long. Super-powered beings all stuck in one facility in a place that ''starts slowly driving them mad from the time they enter?'' [[SarcasmMode What could possibly go wrong]]?

** Belierin, Elysium's swampy second layer, is a rare heavenly example. Long ago, a war party of guardinals came across the Hydra, the immortal paragon of hydras everywhere. They were unable to kill the immensely powerful monster, but also couldn't allow it to roam the planes at will, and thus decided to teleport it to Belierin. They then closed off the layer, making portals or planar travel to and from it impossible -- the only way out is through the river Oceanus, which crosses the layer, but the Hydra cannot stand the touch and smell of its waters. The guardinals have developed a tendency to use Belierin as a prison for other evil beings that they can't destroy, and nobody but them is quite sure of how many monsters have been put into that particular can by now.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' uses the Negative Zone Prison idea from the comic book Civil War arc but instead casts it as the prison that Hank Pym, Tony Stark, and Reed Richards create after an unknown force breaks all the supervillians out of the old Super-prisons. Each inmate gets a 8x8 Cell and a personal Ultron Robot Warden. Many of the Avengers consider the idea morally questionable but don't have good answers when asked for a better idea.
