Plot Overview

Jacknife has been released from Rockland County Maximum Security Facility and he's already back to his life of crime. He carjacks a man and runs him down with his own car, rams it into a bar with a child in the back seat, then attempts to steal a pink bunny from a pet store before he's stopped and apprehended (with extreme damage to the pet shop) by the prison robot. The robot flies him off to Superjail, at the top of a volcano far away from Rockland County.

The new prisoner is dragged into the mountain and put through a bizarre and rigorous entrance exam before being deposited into a white room containing a liquid hallucinogen. Jacknife drinks the contents of the bottle and finds himself in a field with the warden, who says hello just before he's thrown back into the real world and punched in the face by his cellmate. While the prisoners are left to their sad torment, the warden, Alice and Jared hold their weekly Monday meeting. It seems that the twins caused a lava leak as a prank, which the warden seems to approve of.

In the middle of the meeting, the Warden meets the new guy for real and decides to shoot him off into space in a rocket. The warden discovers the dead rabbit that the prisoner stole and decides that it would be a good idea to buy rabbit prison uniforms for all of the inmates. The twins catch word of this and intercept the order by making Jared buy half bunny suits and half wolf suits. This causes two giant gangs to form based on their costumes which inevitably clash in a violent riot. Despite Jared freaking out over the impeding loss of his job, the Warden is happy with this change in plans. He goes to thank the twins in person and ask them to step it up, which they do in the form of a giant artificial moon that turns the wolf-costumed inmates into real wolves. Eventually the kitchen staff gets involved, followed by a mystery meat monster until everyone's dead, much to the pleasure of the warden. After everything's said and done, Jacknife finally returns from his rocket voyage and crashes in the middle of the cafeteria. He runs off to escape through a hole in the jail made by the monster.

Trivia

Behind the Scenes

• Abandoned Sequence: After the warden shoots Jacknife into space, there was originally a sequence following up where he found himself on an abandoned lunar base surrounded by floating skeletons. The rocket would then open, causing Jacknife to clutch his throat and explode.
