| - Captain Plunder was sent to the prison to be hung by the neck until dead for piracy against Doctor Robotnik. Waiting for his death, Plunder was given fellow inmate Simpson the Cat for company. Their jailer, Mister Gullets, was suitably nasty, "treating" Plunder with a bucket full of unsavoury liquid. Fortunately, Simpson knew of a secret exit built by Billy Gulch shortly before his pardon. Plunder freed the pair from their chains with a secret tool and Simpson got them out of their cell by summoning a question mark from nowhere. During a fight with Gullets, Simpson painted a hole on the floor that their warden fell through.
- According to Robotnik's propaganda machine, the "luxurious" Highview facility focused more on rehabilitation than punishment, and indeed no inmate had ever re-offended... although this was in fact because they were almost all hanged. In reality, the "Corrective Centre" is little more than a dungeon in which prisoners are chained up on the walls, and the warden is the vindictive Mister Gullets. Plunder's escape from Highview made (almost) all the headlines the next day.

Their jailer, Mister Gullets, was suitably nasty, "treating" Plunder with a bucket full of unsavoury liquid. Fortunately, Simpson knew of a secret exit built by Billy Gulch shortly before his pardon. Plunder freed the pair from their chains with a secret tool and Simpson got them out of their cell by summoning a question mark from nowhere. During a fight with Gullets, Simpson painted a hole on the floor that their warden fell through. Despite getting stuck, Plunder and Simpson made it out of the prison and into the sewer system. Unfortunately, the Sky Pirates had come to rescue their captain and narrowly missed seeing Plunder in the dark. The pirates were all arrested upon their entrance into Plunder's cell, whilst Plunder and Simpson escaped the centre in secrecy. Only Filch was to able to join them later. In later stories, the Highview Corrective Centre was replaced with the Metropolis City High Security Prison.
- According to Robotnik's propaganda machine, the "luxurious" Highview facility focused more on rehabilitation than punishment, and indeed no inmate had ever re-offended... although this was in fact because they were almost all hanged. In reality, the "Corrective Centre" is little more than a dungeon in which prisoners are chained up on the walls, and the warden is the vindictive Mister Gullets. After his mock trial, Captain Plunder was locked in Highview for four weeks, waiting to be hanged for robbing Robotnik's Robotnicus airship. All of his appeals were denied. He was chained up by his arms next to Simpson the Cat, but when he learned that Simpson knew a secret way out of the cell he used a mechanical device in his hook to break free. Plunder and Simpson broke their chains, defeated Mister Gullets, and escaped the prison through a tunnel dug by Billy Gulch. Gulch had spent twenty years digging it, but the day before he was going to use it they pardoned him and the poor guy never used it. Meanwhile Plunder's crew, led by Filch, were coming the other way through the tunnel to rescue him. Plunder and Simpson hid from the crew, not recognising who they were in the dark. The crew reached the prison, found Plunder had already gone, and were promptly captured, all except for the ghost Filch who escaped by walking through the wall. Plunder's escape from Highview made (almost) all the headlines the next day.
