Maxine is sometimes treated like the muscle they all want in their crew in order to beat others up — specifically because she’s trans since she’s not particularly muscly although is very tall — but she’s not ever depicted predatorily. She’s just stronger than a lot of the cis characters.

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.

a character is graphically, brutally gang-raped while in the shower, and is shown severely bleeding afterwards quite a few times. there is also a scene where she is strip searched a day or two after the attack, and her butt is shown with horrible bruising all over it.

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.
