A main character spends the majority of the second season in a mental institution that also serves as his jail cell while his trial takes place.

Another main character is in the same mental institution in the third season, but the "cell" is more of a fancy-looking room compared to the cell in the second season.

Three characters have been incarcerated, Maxo only stayed overnight, but Pac and Mike actually had to live in the prison for a couple days before escaping. The real time length of this period was only a day though, not multiple streams.

Yes. Frequent mentions of prison throughout, but never shown (although there is shots in courthouses).
Until season 5, which features an extremely important and lengthy plotline about various people in prison. During this plotline 10 people are murdered while incarcerated. One of the main characters is also enslaved in season 5.
