Adebisi stabs a rat with a long fork. It screams out a horrendous scream. Camera shows it shaking while stabbed and blood is shown. Awful awful awful moment. Definitely should skip or fast forward.

Not finished with the series yet and it's not shown on screen but there is a scene where a prisoner talks about "docking" his dog when he was younger in pretty graphic detail and he goes as far as killing the dog. He says he's joking after, but it's unclear what the truth is.

A few instances I can think of: someone being punched and knocking out a tooth, and someone having gum surgery(I don't think gum mutilation counts as teeth damage but I figure I'd mention that he cuts his gums later)

In season 1 a character gets glass in his eye and has surgery to restore vision; not much graphic here. In season 2 episode 8; a COs eyes are forcibly removed, act is not shown but it is very graphic, showing the eyesocket. Look away from about 23:40 to 24:30
edit: shown at least once more in other seasons

Sort of? It's more implied to be a sort of astral projection. Not ghosts in the traditional horror movie sense.

If electro-therapy is a trigger for you, you should know that a mentally disabled character undergoes ECT & is later executed using the electric chair. The chair is explained to him as one last special ECT session. The culmination of his storyline is extremely upsetting.

The show is set in prison, a lot of small enclosed spaces. Doesn't bother many inmates; except one who when put in solitary confinement who has a breakdown(S2E8)

Sort of. In every episode, the series narrator, who is also an inmate, often talks directly to the audience while in character. None of the other inmates have any awareness of this.
