Bikini Bottom Jail

Location

The Bikini Bottom Jail, also known as the Bikini Bottom Prison, is a governmental institution in Bikini Bottom that first appears in the episode "Hall Monitor."

About

Description

The building is two stories high, with an over-sized ball-and-chain attached to it. The prison features a rock-crushing yard, a cafeteria, and the jail cell. The building is composed of metal and is sky-blue with a black roof, on top of which has a brown wooden sign hold together by two bamboo sticks that reads the jail's name in white text outlined by red.

The inmates do many activities, such as crushing rocks, lifting weights, and making wire coat hangers and license plates.

Features

A large pile of rocks (Mrs. Puff is seen smashing them during the episode "Doing Time.")
A giant "cannonball" weight attached to the main building
A robot computer that SpongeBob uses in Battle for Bikini Bottom.
A seemingly bottomless extra security cell Plankton is seen inside in "Krabby Road"
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 no uranium. As Mrs. Puff says in the episode "Doing Time," "Crystal clear!"
Clear-glass communication windows
A supply of lollipops, as seen in "Life of Crime"
This building appears to be smaller on the outside than it is on the inside.

Inmates

SpongeBob SquarePants is in jail in three episodes: "Life of Crime," "Driven to Tears," and "Cave Dwelling Sponge."
Patrick Star is in jail in five episodes: "Life of Crime," "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler," "Driven to Tears", "Good Ol' Whatshisname," and "The Executive Treatment."
Mrs. Puff has been in jail in "Hall Monitor," "No Free Rides," "Doing Time," "Ditchin'," and "Summer Job." In "Hall Monitor" and "Doing Time," Mrs. Puff was sent to jail because SpongeBob destroyed Bikini Bottom. In "No Free Rides," she stole SpongeBob's new boatmobile and crashed it into a police car. In "Summer Job," she was going to be sent to a Stoney Lonesome in the same outfit as "Hall Monitor." In "Ditchin'," she was sent to jail because she skipped Jury Duty.

It is also implied that she would go to jail in "Patrick-Man!" Patrick thinks she is breaking into a boatmobile, when in reality, she is trying to help one of her students who is locked inside and couldn't get out. Patrick throws a net over her and leaves a note that reads "Kops-This is boat theef." She is thrown into a paddy wagon, and one of the police asks if she remembers what a felony is.

She is also shown to be arrested in "Bumper to Bumper" after violating house arrest.
Squidward Tentacles is in jail in "Good Ol' Whatshisname" and "Krabby Road." He goes to jail in the former for stealing What Zit Tooya's wallet. He is also sent to jail for no reason in "Fiasco!" Squidward is also arrested and sent to jail for impersonating Squilliam Fancyson in "Professor Squidward."
The Tattletale Strangler was in jail in "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler." He was wanted for strangling tattletales and littering.
Sheldon J. Plankton was in jail in "Krabby Road." He had attempted to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula; this is his first time seen in jail (even though the first movie was released before "Krabby Road" aired, it is confirmed to take place after the series, so "Krabby Road" would technically be the first instance of Plankton being arrested rather than the movie). He also got arrested in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, "Sweet and Sour Squid," "Fiasco!," and "Jailbreak!"

Trivia

Although he has been arrested many times, Eugene H. Krabs has never actually been shown in jail. Same goes for Sandy, who has only been arrested once (twice in a deleted scene) so far, but was never seen in jail.
Gary the Snail is the only main character who has never been arrested.
In "Summer Job," it is shown that SpongeBob teaches boating lessons at the jail.
A whale prisoner who looks similar to Pearl appears in jail in the episode "Jailbreak!"
