Most people spend their lives trying to avoid incarceration, but on some rare occasions, being in prison is better than being on the streets. Sometimes characters need to meet someone on the inside for information, revenge, or a rescue mission. Or maybe they need protection that only iron bars and 24-hour surveillance can provide. Whatever their reasons, they're prepared to do what it takes to land comfortably in the clink, but prisons aren't hotels, and police won't let you in just because you ask them (unless you are trusted and working with said police), so characters will generally have to break some sort of law and intentionally get caught. Smart characters will adjust the severity of their crime depending on where they want to end up and for how long. Dumber or more desperate characters may wind up with a longer or harsher prison sentence than they wanted. Supertrope to Can't Get in Trouble for Nuthin' and Desires Prison Life. See also Trojan Prisoner, Play-Along Prisoner, Conveniently Cellmates, and Chained Heat. This is a subtrope of Unishment, where being put into prison is the desired "penalty" for committing a crime, and of Captured on Purpose. Named for, but not particularly related to the "Get Out of Jail Free" Card. |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Olivia knows that one of the corrections officers at Sealview Women's Prison has been raping and abusing inmates (as well as the 14-year-old daughter of at least one of them), so to catch him, she goes undercover as a woman named Katrina Rae Lewis sent there for a theft or something, complete with a fake past record of an abusive father and an abusive ex-husband. She ends up getting nearly raped by that CO before Finn (undercover there as a CO) comes in. | |

Arrow: In "Keep Your Enemies Closer", John Diggle's ex-wife is in a prison in Russia, so Oliver Queen's friend in the Bratva provides Diggle with a bag of drugs and arranges for him to be arrested. Once in prison, a guard on the Bratva payroll is meant to get him to where his ex is being held. In "Tremors", the guards at Blackgate Prison laugh at their latest inmate who was caught robbing a store across the road from a police station. Turns out he's been paid to smuggle Wolverine Claws inside his body so Bronze Tiger can escape. |

Batman Begins opens with Bruce Wayne in a Chinese prison. It's pointed out that a man of his wealth and fame is only in a place like that by choice — Bruce is attempting to learn about the criminal mindset. However, Ducard regards this path as a dead end and quickly arranges his release so he can be tutored by the League of Shadows instead. | |

At one point in Baldur's Gate II you have to get yourself sent to Spellhold — which is actually the local asylum, but it plays out similarly. The funny way to do so is to tell the local Lord you must be deranged because you travel with Minsc. After being subjected to Minsc's conversation for a few minutes he wholeheartedly agrees and sends you there forthwith. You can also preserve your dignity by letting another character use his influence to get you in just as easily. | |

King of the Hill: Hank gets himself arrested to talk to Bill, who'd been put in jail on a petty charge after getting estranged from the gang. Humorously, Hank's first idea is to jaywalk in front of a cop (he waits for the light to switch and then walks), assuming this is enough. His second attempt is even tamer: taking off his shirt in a convenience store while pointing out the "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" sign and attempting to surrender to a couple of cops buying sodas - at which point he's informed "it's not officially a law" (and the clerk rubs it in further by mentioning he doesn't even enforce the store policy). Finally, he decides to give one of their cars a light bump with his truck. Of course, their reaction is immediate and angry — he's in jail quickly. | |

Discworld has Done-It Duncan, who'll confess to anything in order to spend the night in jail, where he's safe from other criminals and gets something to eat. He almost never actually did it, and the Watch puts up with him because he inadvertently (on his part) gives them information about the crimes; usually including naming the actual perpetrator(s).... In Guards! Guards!, Vimes finds Vetinari in the dungeon, and after finding an "escape" route for himself realizes that Vetinari was probably the safest person in the city at that point and was essentially using the dungeon as a fortress. As a semi-retired Assassin, he could certainly have resisted being put in the dungeon if he hadn't planned to stay there all along. |

In World's Wildest Police Videos, one of the videos has a guy who was already in jail, but was going to be released soon. He suddenly jumps up and decks an officer that was casually walking by and was carted back to his cell on new charges. Apparently, his gang thought he was a snitch, and he was afraid that they would kill him on the outside. | |

The eponymous protagonist of Jessica Jones (2015), having majorly crossed the Despair Event Horizon, attempts this in the first season, believing (irrationally) it's the only way she'll be able to keep everyone else around her safe while luring Kilgrave into displaying his talent on-camera. To ensure she gets into jail, she brings her neighbor Ruben's severed head into the nearest police station and dumps it on the detective's desk. Unfortunately, Kilgrave is, as usual, steps ahead of her. | |

In My Name Is Earl, Randy misses Earl so badly that he takes the exam to become a prison guard...and since he scored at least 50%, he passes. However, he's such a bumbling idiot that just like on the outside, Earl ends up protecting Randy instead. (Sometimes from other prisoners, sometimes from Randy himself.) Before that, Randy stole a car and parked it on a median strip hoping to get caught, but he never did. | |

The Best Gamepiece Photocomic: Parodied when Val decides to get herself arrested so she can get Wasp out of prison. Val, being a massive Cloudcuckoolander, decides the best way to do this is to walk up to a police officer and report herself (not turn herself in, report herself, as you would report someone else) for "reverse jaywalking", a.k.a. legally crossing the street, which eventually gets her arrested for wasting the officer's time. | |

At the end of season one of The Owl House, Eda's been arrested. Luz and King's plan to get her out relies on doing something so twisted, so diabolical, they'll be brought to the Conformitorium. So they make sure a guard sees them standing on the grass next to a "Keep off the grass" sign. It works like a charm. | |

Sly 2: Band of Thieves: A scene much like the trope image occurs in one chapter. Bentley's plan for getting Murray out of Contessa's prison requires the character to be in the solitary cell block, so since Murray isn't there yet, the player gets a mission of him brawling it out with the other prisoners until the guards decide it's enough. | |

In Yakuza 0, Omi Alliance brass Homare Nishitani has his own personal jail cell at the Osaka precinct thanks to his friendships with a few corrupt cops, including his foster father Billiken. As he notes, since there are guards everywhere, and you'd have to go to jail to get at him, it's effectively "the best hideout taxpayer money can buy." When he decides he wants to leave, the jail cell is left unlocked and he can just walk out. | |

The movie Law Abiding Citizen had a man not only get himself thrown in jail but then got himself sent to solitary confinement. He got himself sent to solitary because he'd already dug a tunnel linked to every cell so he could escape at will, cause mayhem all over the city and have the perfect alibi - all to get back at the prosecutor who took a plea bargain from one of the men who broke into his home and killed his wife and daughter in front of him. | |

One Lucky Luke comic book has the Daltons trying to get thrown in jail so that they can dig up a large treasure buried in the prison grounds. However, the judge turns out to be incredibly soft on crime (the prison is really a fortified luxurious holdout where he lodges criminals he's recruited), eventually forcing them to simply dig their way into the prison. As one of them points out, this is a complete reversal of their normal operation. | |

Batman The villain Black Mask's accomplice, Circe, tries to get Harvey "Two-Face" Dent to do this - return to Arkham Asylum and kill Black Mask while he's in there. Batman also did this himself at least once, getting himself into Arkham because he knew Zsasz, despite being locked up, was somehow sneaking out to kill people. During The Silver Age of Comic Books, The Joker once faked insanity to get into a specific mental hospital, so he could access an inmate who knew the location of a big mob treasure. |

The Haunting of Drearcliff Grange School, set in a school for future superheroes (and sometimes future supervillains), has an epilogue in which the protagonist, as an adult, goes to a notorious Extranormal Prison to visit the newest inmate, the Broken Doll, who she was at school with. She arrives just in time to witness the Broken Doll stage a daring break-out, taking with her several valuable and dangerous artifacts that were being held in the prison for safe-keeping. They don't get a chance to chat, but it's strongly implied that the Broken Doll let herself be caught as a way of getting through the prison's defenses and close to the artifacts. | |

The entire premise of Prison Break. A man is Wrongly Accused and his brother, Michael Scofield, commits a bank robbery so he'll be caught and thrown into the same prison (Scofield pleads 'no contest' on condition he's sent to a prison near his home) to help him escape. It helps that Scofield designed the prison, and the design is now tattooed onto his body. | |

However, once in court, the magistrate is prepared to let him go because of his previous good character. Russell resorts to insulting the magistrate until he sentences him to 28 days for contempt of court. | |

In Let's Go to Prison, the protagonist is a convicted criminal with a plan for revenge on the judge that locked him up over and over since he was a preteen. Unfortunately, he gets his plan together a day late and the judge is already dead from natural causes. Instead, he goes after the deadbeat son of the dearly departed judge and gets the guy busted for drugs, then he deliberately gets himself arrested so he can become the deadbeat's cellmate for the sole purpose of making his life hell (he pleads guilty on condition of being allowed to serve his sentence at that specific prison). Eventually, the two are forced to bond together in order to make it through their prison stay alive. | |

Mal looks up the quartermaster and decks him, both getting payback on her behalf and ensuring he'll be thrown into the same brig. Of course she'd have been released eventually, so it's presented as a Friendship Moment that he'd do this. | |

Parodied in Robot Chicken following Paris Hilton's arrest. Her The Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie robs a bank to get arrested and break her out, but the bank teller she's robbing points out that she might just get probation, so she kills him. When she's arrested, the officer points out that, since she's a celebrity, she'll still be out in a matter of days (as would Paris in the first place). | |

Young Justice (2010) does this with a twist: a collection of ice villains all get arrested on the same day, so they can help with a break-out from Belle Reve. Two of them get sent to Belle Reve right away, and the Justice League get clued something is up when the other two arrange to get sent there as well—Mr. Freeze suing to be considered legally sane and Icicle Jr. suing to be tried as an adult. So Superboy and Miss Martian disguise themselves as captured supervillains so they can infiltrate and find out what's going on. | |

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Vick finds one of his targets has been thrown into jail, so he follows suit by the simple method of walking up to a group of police officers and punching one of them. Of course being a Terminator he can get out at any time just by knocking the cell door off its hinges. Notably, this one manages to get around the big issue of being sent to the same area as the prisoner in question, because the target is in temporary holding, just like Vick would be when assaulting a cop. Once he's inside, he can literally just rip the doors off the walls until he finds his target. | |

Doctor Who: At the start of "Revolution of the Daleks", the Doctor has been incarcerated in an asteroid prison that even she can't get out of. Fortunately, her old friend Jack Harkness finds out she's there and commits a few crimes (maybe more than a few) to get himself incarcerated along with his escape equipment. Apparently, it took nineteen years for him to work his way to an adjourning cell, but as they're both time travelers this isn't much of a problem plot-wise. | |

Person of Interest. In "Prisoner's Dilemma", a government assassin is ordered to kill John Reese, who is being held on Rikers Island. The assassin immediately draws his gun in the middle of New York and starts Firing in the Air a Lot, then surrenders quietly to police. Showing extraordinary confidence in the ability of the Machine to protect her, Root lets herself be black-hooded and dragged off to a Black Site for interrogation, in order to free another prisoner there. Sameen Shaw is posing as her CIA captor, to assist where necessary. On a couple of occasions the Victim of the Week has just thrown something at a passing police car in order to escape pursuers. |

The Criminal Minds episode "Fatal" kicks off at a police station where a man barges in begging to spend the night because he received a death threat. Since said threat is an anonymous note, he isn't taken seriously and the officers there tell him to go to a hotel. He grabs a trash can and flings it at an officer, who now obligingly arrests him. It didn't help. He'd already been poisoned with arsenic, so he's found dead in his cell the next morning. | |

The Stainless Steel Rat does this at both ends of his career: In A Stainless Steel Rat Is Born, a young DiGriz allows himself to get caught in the belief that he'll meet criminal masterminds in prison who'll teach him the art of crime. As it turns out, he only meets the losers who were dumb enough to be caught. He does have to try to get into an actual prison rather than juvenile hall. When the judge is about to give him a reduced sentence, he flips out in court and attacks a reporter, causing the judge to lose all sympathy. The Distant Finale of the series is a short story where the Rat, as an old man, apparently loses his touch and gets arrested and imprisoned. It turns out he's still got it, and let himself get caught as the first step of a plan to bust an old friend out of the prison. |

While serving a sentence in a different penitentiary and acting like a model prisoner, he learns that inmates may get themselves transferred to Alcatraz for persistent or serious troublemaking in prison. He decides the best way to make such trouble is to systematically brutalize every other inmate in the prison cafeteria. | |

As such he has to replace one of the inmates, as the guards won't check someone who is already in jail. | |

The Joker pulls a double-layered scheme in The LEGO Batman Movie. He surrenders to the Gotham Police, earning himself a spot in Arkham Asylum for his many prior crimes. This fuels Batman's paranoia: he decides Joker must be planning to pull something big from inside Arkham, and the only way to stop him is to throw him into someplace even more secure. So Batman sends Joker to the Phantom Zone—which plays right into the Joker's hand since his real goal all along was to recruit the villains incarcerated in this second prison. | |

In Justified, Boyd Crowder assaults a US Marshal in a federal courthouse in front of dozens of witnesses. He assaulted a federal agent on federal property specifically so he would be sent to the federal prison rather than county jail. Once inside he bribes a crooked guard to be placed in the right cell. He is trying to get close to Dickie Bennett who is in the prison awaiting trial on federal charges. Raylan figures this out and tried to thwart the plan by having the charges dropped and Boyd released. | |

In Guards! Guards!, Vimes finds Vetinari in the dungeon, and after finding an "escape" route for himself realizes that Vetinari was probably the safest person in the city at that point and was essentially using the dungeon as a fortress. As a semi-retired Assassin, he could certainly have resisted being put in the dungeon if he hadn't planned to stay there all along. | |

White Heat. The undercover cop seeking evidence against Cody Jarrett specializes in this kind of assignment. Of course he doesn't have to commit a crime first; he's simply placed inside the prison next to his target. | |
