People comment on Liz's son being "hot" even though he's a teen. They joke about it "not being legal" but don't take it seriously. The inappropriate comments seem to be dismissed as harmless and not really addressed.

Season 2. An inmate rescues a baby bird and nurses it back to health. As retaliation, the bird is eventually given back to her dead. You don’t see the killing, just the dead bird.

It's a major plot point of the season 5 finale that characters conspire to bury antagonist Joan "The Freak" Ferguson alive in a makeshift coffin. She is tricked into crawling into the coffin. She is seen/heard screaming when she realizes what is happening. In season 6, the characters responsible have recurring thoughts and nightmares about her or being buried alive themselves.
