Characters
The Warden - Seemingly the creator of Superjail. In his appearances he is seen wearing a purple suit with a yellow undershirt, a traditional bow tie and gray gloves, as well as having black-colored hair and wide yellow glasses. His behavior is usually manic. Having inherited the jail from his father, the Warden was unhappy with the prison and modified it to suit his wishes, creating Superjail. As he explains it, he has sworn to "perfect the art of incarceration". He has a distaste for ordinary correctional facilities. He seems to think that everything in Superjail is under his control (which it might be, considering he seems to have the ability to alter reality within the complex), touting everything that goes wrong inside Superjail his idea.[1] In the press release, The Warden has been described as a "sadistic Willy Wonka."[2] Voiced by David Wain.
Jared - Superjail's uptight accountant, who has a very large head. He is always worrying about what the warden will do next to put the budget in jeopardy. He may have a drinking problem, as evinced by a talking bottle of liquor in his desk drawer. He is a typical sycophant who agrees with everything the Warden says and compliments him on all his plans.
Alice - Seemingly the only prison guard in Superjail, Alice is in charge of "taking care" of the inmates. Her masculine manner, deep voice and a bulge in her skirt indicate that she may be a transsexual.
The Twins - Two blond identical twins who are inhabitants of Superjail. For unspecified reasons, the Warden allows them a much higher level of freedom than the staff and prisoners. They have a habit of running around the hidden areas of Superjail, plotting mischief. They seem to be very adept with computers and have a hidden lab beneath Superjail, and are able to teleport. They enjoy interfering with the Warden's plans. Despite this, the Warden seems to enjoy the chaos they create (to the point of taking credit for it himself).
Jail-bot - A tombstone-shaped levitating robot that performs menial tasks in and around Superjail, such as piloting vehicles and transporting prisoners. Jail-bot is mute, but possesses a monochrome screen that displays an expressive face. It always enters a room by smashing through the wall, floor or ceiling.
Setting
The majority of Superjail is set inside the titular prison. Externally, Superjail appears to be built inside a massive volcano, but internally it seems to constitute its own psychedelic reality, where the fabric of time and space is extremely fluid and changes at the whim of the Warden. According to Jared in the pilot episode, Superjail's inmate population is in excess of 70,000.
