Wardens Are Evil	comment	The typical Hellhole Prison has many horrors, but none so great as the prison's warden. He will often be a heartless, soulless monster dedicated to abusing and bullying prisoners in the most brutal ways possible. Alternatively, they will torment prisoners emotionally by saying hurtful words and putting them down. Assuming they don't do both. Bonus points if their actions are illegal themselves, and if they make some of the prisoners act as enforcers. Double bonus points if they get busted and become an inmate in the prison they once ruled with an iron fist. Don't even think about thinking about crossing the warden, and don't even think about thinking about escaping. If you do, the punishment will make you wish you were dead (assuming it doesn't involve death). Note that this doesn't necessarily have to be a prison warden; it could just be the commander of a prison-like institution. Compare Corrupt Politician, Screw the Rules, I Make Them! Contrast Reasonable Authority Figure and The Jailer.

Wardens Are Evil / int_10b03dcf	comment	Quincy Sharp from Batman: Arkham Asylum. His ultimate plan was to kill every single inmate of the Asylum, as he believed himself to be the Spirit of Amadeus Arkham. For specifics, he went to the Joker's cell to knife him to death (Utter Failure), wanted to lobotomize Harley, and burn Poison Ivy alive.

Wardens Are Evil / int_1215a23d	comment	Genshin Impact: Played With Wriothesley. He is expected to be scary, but when the Traveler meets him he is nothing but hospitable. Then it seems like he's actually a terrifying Magnificent Bastard who is willing to kill Freminent and Lynette for breaking prison rules and trying to go into the restricted zone. Finally it gets subverted again when it's revealed he actually is a hospitable good guy, but was bluffing to twist Lyney's arm into cooperating. Wriothesley is willing to take very extreme measures, but he is actually pretty relaxed about things as long as they don't cross his lines (and even in those cases, he shows a lot of restraint).

Wardens Are Evil / int_1469522d	comment	Mostly averted by the Chaplains of Piranesi in Sunless Skies. Piranesi is a prison full of Alien Geometries that won't let prisoners reach the exit until they have sufficiently changed themselves as a person. Three of the four Chaplains are doing what they can to help prisoners change enough to meet the requirements to leave. The fourth is played straight: the first time he talks to you alone he complains about how the other Chaplains disapprove of his habit of beating the prisoners. The Chaplain who's been around the longest says that the evil Chaplain used to be an honorable man, until he wound up in Piranesi and turned his honor to cruelty to satisfy the requirement that he change enough to escape.

Wardens Are Evil / int_18e1d600	comment	Uncharted 4: A Thief's End: Vargas, the warden of a Panamanian prison that Nathan and Samuel Drake and their ally Rafe Adler are staying in, is a greedy, corrupt Fat Bastard who's willing to break any number of the rules he's supposed to abide by — taking bribes, beating up the inmates, and showing Nate a vacant prison tower he wants him to explore for pirate treasure. Despite this, he's mostly on Nate's side, given that Rafe's bribing him to help them in their search for the pirate colony of Libertalia, but to him, Rafe's money is not enough — he wants a cut of Libertalia's treasure too. Eventually, after finding Nate unearthed a St. Dismas cross in the tower that he never informed Vargas about, the enraged warden contemplates shooting him — only for Rafe to successfully negotiate with him in exchange for 25% of the gold. This done, when it appears as though Bargas is threatening revenge on the Americans if they try cheating him again, Rafe stabs him to death — but that backfires too, because Vargas fires his gun into the air before he dies, alerting the rest of the guard, and forcing the Drakes and Rafe to attempt escape — which ends with Sam getting shot and seemingly dying.

He's a menacing figure with the power to induce painful muscle spasms in others, he doesn't hesitate to use it on anyone, even the Flash himself. He is violently opposed to the idea that criminals can or should be rehabilitated or redeemed — he just wants to ensure that they're punished. Prisoners are starved and beaten regularly by his heavily armored guards. Oh, and it's stated he was an Amoral Attorney before he became warden; the only person he failed to convict was mysteriously murdered two days after the trial. During Joshua Williamson's run, the Central City police department try to get him busted, but it's nigh-impossible to get any criminal out from under his thumb, let alone find one willing to testify. Eventually, however, he does get busted, and in a nice dose of irony, imprisoned right next to Captain Cold.

Doling out rules about prisoners not being able to act like soldiers anymore? OK, tough, but understandable. Using a number of brutal methods to break prisoners' wills (especially when Determinator Badass General Eugene Irwin arrives), and ordering prison guards to shoot prisoners in the head with 12-gauge rubber bullets (which is highly lethal) if they somehow manage to piss him off (which is unfortunately often)? Firmly cements him in this trope.

He could not care less if said inmates are killed by his guard dogs or by each other. Even in his first introduction, Alex notes that he couldn't stare Warden Cross in the eye, that there was some darkness that refused to let him do it.

Wardens Are Evil / int_468bebb0	comment	An interesting case in Discworld. The Ankh-Morpork City Watch is generally portrayed as heroic, but the city prison, the Tanty, is apparently answerable to the Patrician rather than the Commander of the Watch. When the protagonist of Making Money is springing a prisoner, he is pleased to find Bellyster, an evil cuss who doesn't even have the grace to turn his back when gobbing in a prisoner's food, on duty, because of the problems he's about to make for the man. Later in the book, when Moist's been arrested, the guards treat him pretty well because of said trouble (it seems Bellyster's not too popular). The Watch's own lock-up is a subversion. The jailer there is Fred Colon, who is devious enough to prevent any breakout or smuggling attempts, and amiable enough that no one really bothers. Colon will make sure you get clean sheets, decent meals, and possibly even tea and a biscuit. However, you will not get a Jail Bake in, you won't be able to fool him with a fake gastric infection, and he, uniquely in jail history, keeps his keys in a metal box in his bottom desk drawer where no pets can get to them.

Wardens Are Evil / int_5a47599	comment	Batman: Arkham Series: Quincy Sharp from Batman: Arkham Asylum. His ultimate plan was to kill every single inmate of the Asylum, as he believed himself to be the Spirit of Amadeus Arkham. For specifics, he went to the Joker's cell to knife him to death (Utter Failure), wanted to lobotomize Harley, and burn Poison Ivy alive. Hugo Strange from Batman: Arkham City. He intentionally shipped weapons into the prison so he would be allowed to enact "Protocol 10", which turns out to mean killing every single inmate in the prison. Subverted in Batman: Arkham Origins. While Warden Joseph is on the take, just like every single cop in Gotham except Gordon, he's a peach compared to the other examples. The one unethical thing he did was to pressure Harleen Quinzel to change her evaluation of Calendar Man to "sane" so that he could legally receive the death penalty. To be fair, Calendar Man is a murderous and unrepentant criminal in this continuity. Initially averted in Batman: Arkham Knight, but the "Season of Infamy" DLC introduced Warden Ranken, the sadistic leader of Iron Heights Penitentiary, who did things like cutting off Killer Croc's hand with a buzzsaw to see if it would grow back in an effort to see if Croc's condition could be weaponized on the orders of Quorum.

She turns into a Knight Templar over the course of the campaign, willing to sacrifice her own allies in order to motivate the others to hunt him down.

On the other hand, the well-meaning Barrowclough's attempts to help the prisoners usually just led to them manipulating him. The episode "Disturbing the Peace" has Mackay temporarily replaced by a Mr Wainwright, who much more fits the sadistic bully version. The prisoners stage a Prison Riot in protest, and then make Wainwright look entirely ineffectual by ending it the moment Barrowclough asks them politely. At the end, the prisoners respond to Mackay's return by singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow", which he actually seems to be quite touched by (although he hides it).

Wardens Are Evil / int_7668653a	comment	In Mass Effect 2, the prison ship Purgatory is run by Warden Kuril, a corrupt mercenary who extorts planetary governments to keep convicts off their worlds, sells convicts to people who want to mete out "personal justice" and, inevitably, tries to double-cross Shepard. He is also one of the few turians shown without any face paint, hinting he was going to stab Shepard and his squad the moment he could from the start as the term "barefaced" means "untrustworthy". The Warden also allows his guards to engage in some Cold-Blooded Torture by beating on a prisoner for entertainment, as well as using it as a Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique. The rest of Shepard's squad expresses disgust at the Warden and the guards' behavior, either because they find torture morally reprehensible, or because they think torture doesn't work because the victim will say anything to make the pain stop.

Superintendent Andrews is something of a jerkass, but given the unique circumstance of Fury 161 is hardly in a position to abuse his power. He's running a former Penal Colony that's been shut down except for a scratch crew of three staff and 25 inmates who've chosen to stay. There's no way off the planet without a spacecraft and Andrew's authority is accepted only to ensure they get supplies, with the inmates actually taking their orders from another inmate who runs their cult. Everything works fine until Ripley and the alien show up.

When he gets caught, he gives us the page image by becoming the vigilante Lock-Up and creating his own prison to house not only criminals but the political leaders who opposed his methods. By the end of the episode, he's confined to his own cell at Arkham. Unlike most situations, however, he's happy about it, as this means he can keep a close eye on all the other inmates.

He has stated (and demonstrated) that he has the authority to punish or kill any prisoner there as he sees fit, and along with being a Poisonous Person, it's the reason he's so feared there. He's not without limits, though; his former colleague Shiryu is far worse, brutally massacring the prisoners for the fun of it. This disgusted Magellan so much that he ordered Shiryu to be imprisoned. The wardens of the Prisoner Mine in Wano Country are a straighter example, given that they're all members of the Beast Pirates. They will bully and torment the prisoners with sadistic glee, but only stop short of killing them because they're used as workforce to craft weapons for Kaido and because they're expected to join his crew once their spirits are broken.

He towers over all others, can take a ton of damage, and has electrical attacking abilities. He returns in the "Blood of the Dead" return-to-Alcatraz map, and here we learn that Brutus was originally the actual Warden of the actual Alcatraz, and this Trope held through just as strongly in life. He participated in a bit of demonic worship in his spare time and ended up sacrificing himself in order to be reincarnated as the ruler of his own Hell dimension.

In the original Dota, he's amongst the Scourge, and when he's ported to the sequel, subsequently, he's amongst the Dire, which has some Dark Is Not Evil elements. However, he's less abusive and more concerned on bringing back those he kept from his prison: The very Ancients all heroes fought over, Radiant and Dire, he kept them from destroying the world. So he's basically trying to keep the world together by trying to re-imprison two wildly destructive above-godlike beings.

Among the unpleasant tropes that could be applied to him were The Bully, Politically Incorrect Villain, Bad Liar, Sore Loser, and Cheaters Never Prosper. A key part of his plan to break Yusei was to make ending a long lockdown depend on his success in a duel, and make sure he couldn't duel and was disqualified, the end result being the inmates hating him. But he forgot one thing: The inmates, without exception, despised Takasu, and weren't as stupid as he figured. They not only figured the plan out fast, they helped Yusei to make sure he could duel. In fact, Takasu was such scum that his boss (Rex Godwin, the Big Bad of the first season), was disgusted with him, and fired him after his brutal treatment of inmates became known.

Wardens Are Evil / int_de8e1e65	comment	In Escape from Alcatraz, the contrast between the unnamed Wardennote Ironically played by Patrick "The Prisoner" McGoohan and the rest of his staff is quite obvious. The guards and the Deputy Warden are just people doing their job and don't resort to plain brutality at any point. The Warden on the other hand is a cold, vain bully. He drives an old prisoner to madness by taking his painting privileges away just because he didn't like a painting the man made of him, and drives another into a heart attack by crushing a flower that the prisoner had brought into the cafeteria (and then not only remains stone-cold calm as the man dies at his feet, but he immediately follows up with a Bond One-Liner to remind the other onlooking prisoners that Alcatraz is inescapable). His mission to ensure that Frank Morris will remain in prison is also portrayed as more of a personal obsession than just fulfilling his duties as head of the prison.
