A prison is a place for incarcerating violent, aggressive people, and the harsh conditions only intensify the potential for conflict, so in fiction, riots are common. If The Hero is placed amongst the prison populace, expect him/her to be the one to instigate it as a cover-up to distract the guards for a Great Escape. In fiction, a riot could be triggered by a public assault of a Pariah Prisoner, an inmate despised by the others, which then leads to a bigger brawl. Convicts and guards are usually Color-Coded for Your Convenience. Expect mattresses and toiletpaper (fire optional) to be thrown around in a modern setting, and inmates banging the bars and yelling. Some depictions may show inmates using the chaos as a cover to settle scores with a shiv or taking the guards hostage. This may lead to a second act with more of an action movie feel, as heavily-armed SWAT operators storm the prison. Truth in Television, especially in overcrowded, poorly-maintained prisons with harsh living conditions and gang tensions, except that in Real Life, riots are often a form of strike, a pressure tactic to force changes in prison administration (e.g., better food, less overcrowding). Prison riots may start with inmates in one area rising up and taking control of a section. Then once other inmates hear about the riot, the chaos expands to other sections; at this stage, some prisoners may begin fighting with other prisoners. Once prisoners take control of the jail, the siege stage begins. Prisoners barricade doors and hallways and guards begin negotiations. If guards and the inmates' leaders can't come to a compromise on how the prisoners will surrender and for which concessions, law enforcement will take back control by force, using tear gas and riot police. A subtrope of Powder Keg Crowd. Related to The Mutiny. Examples |

In the BoJack Horseman episode "Our A-Story Is a 'D' Story", Todd Chavez accidentally causes one of these while serving a jail sentence. Earlier, he had gotten recruitment offers from two rival gangs, the Aryan Nation and Latin Kings; being indecisive, he attempted to join both of them. This naturally backfires in the most horrible way possible, when the Aryans and Latins get into a deadly fight that kills several inmates and guards. The chaos concludes with both of the gangs teaming up to try and murder Todd, who's only saved when the prison walls conveniently break open, allowing everyone to escape. | |

One episode of The Simpsons shows a prison riot happening while Sideshow Bob is trying to make a phone call, which naturally annoys him. Another episode has one going on while Drederick Tatum (A No Celebrities Were Harmed version of Mike Tyson) is calmly eating Jell-o in his cell. He tells them to shut up, and they all quietly go back to their cells. "The Seven Beer Snitch" shows this as a Subverted Trope: the prisoners make it so it seems it's a riot, but in reality they're going to kill Pariah Prisoner Homer Simpson, the prison snitch. | |

In The Maze Agency #14 ("Before Midnight"), Jennifer and Gabe go to a prison to witness the execution of a criminal Jennifer once caught. One minute before the execution, the convicted criminal dies...of poisoning...in the electric chair. When the inmates find out, a full-scale riot ensues. Jennifer talks them into letting her investigate the murder. Meanwhile, The Chessmaster Dr. Rune, who helped to orchestrate the riot (but not the murder), uses it as an opportunity to escape. | |

In the Discworld, A.A. Pessimal allows prisoners at Ankh-Morpork's Tanty Jail to have two prison riots per year. These are a Guild right for members of the Guild of Lags and Lifers, and enables them to teach old craft skills to newcomers, like for e.g. how to rip slates up from the prison roof and safely throw them down into the street, and how to take a prison officer hostage with the minimum of bad feeling and to treat him right - it is polite to invite him to join in a friendly card game, for instance, and you make him a cup of tea on request. The Prison Governor is usually tipped off in advance, and makes sure to put out the worst furniture in the canteen alongside clapped-out and chipped mugs and plateware that won't be missed when they're smashed up. | |

World of Warcraft The first Dungeon most Alliance players will go through involves quelling one in the Stockade. The orchestrator is an Entitled Bastard type who isn't accustomed to the conditions of a prison. Another prisoner involved is the notorious Hoggar. The Assault on Violet Hold instance involves the Blue Dragonflight trying to invade Dalaran via the eponymous Violet Hold, where many dangerous prisoners are held. The players have to stop them as they release two prisoners in an attempt to cover it. The same thing happens during Legion where the Legion itself tries the same thing. Finally, the Vault of the Wardens involves a traitor among the Wardens who has become a pawn of Gul'dan and is now trying to gain the Sargerite Keystone; she unlocks many cells of the prison in order to hinder your advance, but foolishly waits to finish you off simply out of her own amusement. |

The riot was initiated by a white supremacist gang who are using it as cover for breaking into the prison's protective unit and murdering a witness against them. The other gangs joined in because the Corrupt Corporate Executive prison warden has been cutting corners and the prisoners are tired of being mistreated. | |

Season four episode Deception of Star Wars: The Clone Wars has a prison riot as a cover up for an escape. Obi Wan, disguised as a convicted bounty hunter, starts a prison riot as he, Moralo Eval, and Cad Bane, escapes their prison so they can kidnap the Chancellor. Obi Wan stops the pair, of course. Fun fact: Moralo hired a young Boba Fett, who was incarcerated from events earlier in the series, to start a scuffle with Obi Wan. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender "Boiling Rock Part 2" has Sokka, Suki, Zuko, and Hakoda planning a riot as part of an escape plan. Hakoda tries to initiate it by approaching a larger, tougher prisoner and pushing him, hard. All this succeeds in doing is hurting the feelings of the other prisoner. Eventually, however, another prisoner named Chit Sang is able to start a riot merely by shouting, "Hey! Riot!" The fact that he picked up a prisoner and threw him at another prisoner immediately afterwards probably helped. And honestly, Chit Sang could probably be a pretty good riot all by himself. Iroh breaks himself out of the Tailor-Made Prison during the eclipse, taking advantage of the fact that the guards were bendingless. So was he, but it's not like he needs them. |

Arkham City in the second game is totally out of control, with Joker, Penguin, and Two-Face warring endlessly. And to ensure he gains support for increasingly harsher containment measures, the warden (Hugo Strange) does pretty much nothing about it. | |

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, the Penal Colony of Belsalvis is suffering from a grand-scale one of these. Justified as Belsalvis is a Hell Hole Prison run by the Republic, ostensibly for "the worst of the worst" criminals, but they're even treating the descendants of the prisoners (who have done no crime at all) as maximum-security inmates! As an Imperial, you side with the prisoners (who are being experimented on with leftover Rakata tech, forced into deathmatch fights for "scientific research," and kept in hellish conditions) and the descendants who are justifiably pissed off at being punished for their ancestors' crimes. As a Republic player, you're helping the guards, against such wonderful captives as mass murderers, Imperial agents, and imprisoned Sith agents (to say nothing of the Esh-kha aliens, who even the Rakatan Infinite Empire saw fit to imprison). Don't expect a lot of good guys on either side. The descendants of prisoners and other dependents aren't criminals per se — but the very existence of the prison, let alone its location, composition, etc., are top-level Republic secrets. The poor unfortunates who are born there can either live their lives in virtual imprisonment, or try to leave and thereby become actual criminals. (Or they can work for the Republic, I guess.) |

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: The first prison riot starts as a Prisoner Performance, with the purpose being to disguise the other prisoners' escape attempts by distracting the guards. It quickly escalates into a riot when the guards realize what's going on, and soon the whole facility is fighting with Hard Light holograms and just about every Improvised Weapon they can get their hands on. The second one takes place in the underground recycling plant, which is a prison in all but name, as the "workers" are actually slaves moved there from other prisons. At first it's just yet another instance of Kurosaki picking fights, but immediately afterwards Gongenzaka, Tsukikage and Sawatari join in when Crow tells them that Academia is invading. The rest of the prisoners see the chaos and decide to start The Revolution right there and then, quickly taking over the facility and turning the guards' own weapons against them. Soon the fighting spreads to the streets, with the entire Commons population rioting against the Tops in the middle of the pre-existing chaos. |

A guard discovers their escape preparations but is killed by T-Bag who then forces Michael and Sucre to include him in the escape plan. The Sona prison in Season 3 is run by inmates, as a result of a huge riot that took place before the events of the show. Truth in Television, as it's based on a real-life Bolivian prison. |

In The Boondocks episode "A Date with the Booty Warrior", Tom and Ruckus take Huey, Riley, Butch, and four other boys (who were all suspended by their school for fighting) on a Scare 'Em Straight field trip to a local prison. But things soon go very wrong when one of the inmates, the titular Booty Warrior, seizes an opportunity to start a riot; resulting in the prisoners overwhelming the guards and taking over the whole place, and everyone is held hostage. The Booty Warrior pursues Tom in a frantic chase in hopes of anally raping him; while several other inmates (watching over Ruckus and the schoolkids) form a council, where they argue about giving weird demands to the outside world. | |

With prisoners beating each other up/trying to kill each other. Even when the guards come in to pacify it, it just gets worse (with one poor guard having his split open by his jaws) with prisoners getting shot, guards and prisoners being ganged up on. Although unlike most examples, it's contained only to the prison yard covered in slippery mud after a short Battle in the Rain. | |

The Punisher: Frank often takes advantage of these, and is usually directly or indirectly responsible for causing them. In one case, after Daredevil got sent to Ryker's, he gave himself up, waited for the inevitable riot (only killing the criminals that came too near his cell) and took Daredevil hostage (with his co-operation) so that they could both escape. In "The Cell", he sets one up by murdering a black inmate and leaving a prison guard's nametag on the corpse. The guard protests that he wasn't there, but realizes his alibi (he was having sex with a neo-Nazi) will not help matters. Part of the riot we do see has an inmate with a very big smile and a decapitated head in his hand, while Frank only did this to corner the mafiosi originally responsible for the deaths of his family (they were planning a hit on their don, which went disastrously wrong even though he survived and didn't suspect them). In the MAX series, a prisoner starts a riot and then escapes with him, all so that Frank could take revenge on the Kingpin, who'd severely wronged the prisoner. Frank kills him first, then goes after the Kingpin anyway. |

Oz: Prison riots are a constant threat. One erupts in the first season finale "A Game of Checkers" when the prison gangs unite to take over Emerald City by taking the guards hostage. The prisoners establish a ruling council, but it's later revealed that everyone from the rioters to the prison administrators were being manipulated by Kareem Said from the start. He correctly predicted that Governor Devlin would refuse even the rioters' mostly reasonable demands and take back Em City by force, causing enough deaths for public outrage to bring about real reform. | |

Not long after the Joker is placed among its populace, Blackgate in Batman: Arkham Origins is in full riot mode. Again. There's also a smaller riot in the precinct holding cells, set up by Brandon in the hopes that Gordon would get caught up in it and killed. | |
