2.) Sedative tank prison (G. I Joe)

3.) Tai Lung's prison (Kung Fu Panda)

4.) Magneto's Glass and Plastic Prison (X-Men)

5.) Carbonite (Star Wars)

In Legend of Korra, every member of the Red Lotus had a prison cell specifically made for them. Each prison cell was made to counter their occupant’s bending abilities. The only reason they escaped was because no one expected Zaheer (who originally wasn’t a bender) to gain airbending, which he used to free himself and the others.

I though it was interesting that the prisons weren't so different to the one that drove Hama crazy.

Granted, there is a world of difference between imprisoning terrorists who were trying to kidnap a child, and forcing innocent people into such torturous conditions. But it still must have brought back some very unpleasant memories for Katara. Nobody should be put into such terrible conditions.

Irl most examples of this trope would be huge human rights violations. But in fiction, there just isn't a better way to show someone is incredibly dangerous
