Location

The Bikini Bottom Jail is a governmental institution in Bikini Bottom as seen occasionally in the series. It was first seen in the episode Hall Monitor.

The building is two stories high, with an over-sized ball-and-chain attached to it. The prison features a rock crushing yard, cafeteria, and the jail cells. The inmates do many activities such as crush rocks, lift weights, and make wire hangers and license plates. There have been many instances that involved main characters going to jail.

Guards

• Orange Prison Guard
• Purple Prison Guard
• Frank the Guard
• New Prison Recruit
• Harold (as seen in Jailbreak!)

Features

• A large pile of rocks Mrs. Puff was seen smashing during the episode "Doing Time".
• A giant "cannonball" weight attached to the main building.
• A robot computer SpongeBob used in "The Battle of Bikini Bottom".
• A seemingly bottomless extra security cell Plankton was seen in in "Krabby Road".
• A solitary confinement room supposedly made of sponge. (This may not be entirely accurate as Mrs. Puff was delusional at the time.)
• A coat hanger factory. (This may be a reference to the cliché of a license plate factory being in prisons.)
• A plankton-sized prison cell, actually a safe, seen in "Krabby Road".
• A cafeteria that supposedly only serves chili.
• A water supply that supposedly contains high amounts of uranium. (This may be a reference to the recent worry of mercury-contaminated water. This may also be a reference that Bikini Atoll, the location of Bikini Bottom was the site of 67 nuclear tests done by the U.S. government in the 1940s and 50's.)
• Clear glass communication windows.
• A supply of novelty lollipops, as seen in "Life of Crime".
