Location from The Simpsons by Matt Groening / Fox
Springfield's prison — where Snake is frequently paroled from, Sideshow Bob has been incarcerated and escaped multiple times, and various Springfield criminals cycle through.
The Springfield Penitentiary is the criminal justice system's most regular Springfield location. It holds Snake between robberies, Sideshow Bob between schemes, and various other Springfield residents between bad decisions. Its security is calibrated for the show's needs — tight enough to establish imprisonment as meaningful, porous enough for Sideshow Bob to escape. The warden has processed this without apparent distress.
A standard American correctional facility with high walls, guard towers, and the institutional grey of public buildings that nobody decorated. Sideshow Bob has been here enough to have a preferred cell.
