When you do something bad that doesn't warrant a detention. Instead, you have to face the wall of the cafeteria and starve while everyone else is eating. In my opinion, it's only going to make you want to get into more trouble.
Lunch detentions are the stupidest shit ever invented.

Its a punishment at school that's less harsh than a suspension but more than a normal detention.

A pathetic way in principals thinking their punishing you, but really your just sitting at a desk for two hours reading, sleeping, going on the computer, or otherwise wasting part of your life while further putting off going back to your crappy home life, and that grounding you got for whatever reason your in friday detention in the first place. Oh boy, what a horrible thing.
Principal: I heard you cheated on a test.
Student: yupp.
Principal: You have friday detention. (haha, i hope they start to cry, for my horrible punishment that will shurley ruin their lives and make them never do bad again)
Student: whatever.
student walks away
Student: hurray, i get to put off going home for two hours. dumbass.

Dumpster Detention was invented by a group of crime fighting Australian pioneers from the Sutherland Shire, who believed that any form of crime/misbehaviour/offensiveness should be punishable.

Dumpster Detention refers to the process of picking up an individual who has committed a minor crime/offense and placing them into a bin/dumpster. The individual is kept in said bin/dumpster for an amount of time appropriate to their crime/offence.
Guy 1: I disagree with your opinion. I believe that Edward from Twilight COULD kick Batman's backside.

Guy 2: That statement is offensive to myself, Batman and every being on this planet. I, therefore, decree that you shall be placed into Dumpster Detention till you see the error of your ways.

Guy 1: What is Dumps...Ack!

Guy 2: *picks up the offensive person and places them in the nearest trash receptacle*

A so-called extra measure of punishment flaunted by commonly blinded insensitive burnt-out figures held in educative authority. This punishment requires the offending student to go out of their way in the free time they have at the start of their weekend and spend two or so hours at their school doing what the attending teacher requires them to do.

From my school, this is the result of getting two detentions in a week or getting a very low negative behaviour point score by the end of the school week.

It is a wide-held belief that detention is to make the student reflect on their bad behaviour and hopefully have them avoid this punishment in the future. From what I've seen, this kind of detention not only deviates from that desired effect but also worsens the effect that teachers wanted to avoid in the first place.

I've seen some of my friends and many classmates getting this type of detention and it didn't help with their behaviour in the slightest - it only made them get even more detentions, resulting in them returning to even more Saturday detentions.

If a student has done so bad to constantly be given Saturday detentions, chances are there is an underlying issue with said student that needs to be addressed, worked, and resolved, as opposed to just doling out detentions like government cheese.
Teacher: Jimmy, that's two lates in a week. You have a Saturday detention starting at 11 am.
Jimmy: Whatever.
Teacher: And another one now for the following weekend.

Someone who misbehaves in class just so they can get a little individual attention after school, perhaps because they have a crush on a particular teacher, or maybe for other reasons.
You: "There goes Joe again. That's the third time this week that Miss Doubledee has made him stay after school."
Me: "Yeah, he's such a detention whore!"
