Luxury Prison Suite: Difference between revisions

** In the episode "Where There's Smoke", Volcana was spared a regular prison and instead isolated on an island, where Superman brought her supplies (this was both for extenuating circumstances and for the protection of other inmates, given her powers); it seemed a tropical paradise, so long as she stayed put, but she clearly did not. She was later seen fighting Supergirl, and later sent to a high-security section of Stryker's Island Penitentiary.

** The Ultrahumanite has one of these in ''[[Justice League]]'', albeit a relatively small one. Gourmet food, classical music, TV, books, he has to be heavily bribed by Lex to even consider escaping. {{spoiler| And then he agrees to betray Lex and go back anyway in return for Batman doubling Luthor's price... in the form of a charitable "generous donation" to his favorite classical music television channel in the Humanite's name. [[Viewers Like You|The channel even thanks him for it on air]].}}

* ''[[She-Ra|She-Ra and the Princesses of Power]]'':

** {{spoiler|Because Brightmoon has never had any need for a prison - or even a stockade - Queen Angella has the captured Shadoweaver kept in a standard guest room. Eventually, she becomes slightly more trusted, given access to more areas of the palace (even starting a garden) becoming an [[Evil Mentor]] to both Adora and Glimmer.}}

* Despite having the reputation of a [[Tailor-Made Prison]], the famous Bastille in the pre-Revolutionary France was actually designed to be a prison made of this trope. It was next to impossible to escape, and the inmates' identities were a carefully guarded secret, but most of them were political prisoners and noblemen who had caused embarrassment to someone of higher status, most of whom could expect to be released when their families paid the right people. Some even arose to high positions in the government after their release, so the wardens were extra careful on how to treat prisoners who could one day become their immediate superiors.

* Brazilian former Judge Nicolau dos Santos Neto, who was arrested and convicted for embezzling funds from the building of a courtroom, is occasionally transferred from prison to house arrest on the pretence of treating a depression case.
