I watched one episode of this show about a year ago and found it pretty boring. It's somewhere between gore-humor and awkward-humor, and it relies on the same couple sources for laughs over and over again. The Warden is just straight batshit insane, his secretary is a disgusting shemale mutant that he wants nothing more than a night in bed with, and the inmates lives are regarded as worthless and therefore no one is really phased when they are brutally slaughtered.
After watching a couple more episodes however, it became pretty clear to me that there was a saving grace for this show, and that is that even though the show isn't incredibly diverse or clever, it paces itself and sets itself up pretty well for insane, comically over-the-top endings to the episodes. The most obvious episode in this case is "Cold-Blooded", where the jail becomes frozen solid and snow creatures unleash gory hell on the inmates and basically anyone and everyone in the script. The point is that the show gives you kind of mildly funny, gory deaths until you're sick of it, and then overwhelms you with ridiculously fast-paced, orchestrated genocide. Even though you were sick of the show being monotonous, by the time the ending scene is finished, you are laughing your ass off because what you just saw was so epic that it changed your mind again.
The opening credits also feature different crimes being committed, and then Killbot, the Warden's robot, brings them to superjail. Some of these were pretty funny as well.
